Inside historic Scottish former manse in Fife 'ideal for commuters' for sale
A "superb period property" in Scotland has recently gone up for sale. The home has been described as "ideal for commuters", with easy access to Edinburgh.
Ingothill House is a five-bedroom former manse located in the village of Kennoway in central Fife. It is on the market through Galbraith for offers over £475,000.
The B-listed property, previously known as Kennoway Old Parish Manse, is thought to date back to approximately 1833. According to sellers, the home enjoys privacy and seclusion but is within easy reach of the towns of Leven, Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy, Cupar, and St Andrews—offering a wide range of amenities.
Inside, Ingothill House features a front vestibule with period flooring and a luxurious drawing room with dual-aspect windows and a large wood-burning stove. There is also a sizeable games room that currently includes a full-size snooker table.
Elsewhere, there is a kitchen and breakfasting room and a dining room. Completing the ground-floor accommodation is a home office, a utility room, and a cloakroom.
Moving upstairs, a curved staircase leads to the first floor where the five bedrooms are found. There is also a dressing room, a family bathroom, and a spacious attic.
Outside, Ingothill House sits in extensive and picturesque grounds. The garden features a large lawn and a number of mature plants, trees, and shrubs, while at the back of the house is a courtyard and a wooden summer house.
Dom Wedderburn of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, stated: "This is a superb period property which has been fully refurbished but retains all the charm and elegance of the Georgian era. Ingothill House provides attractive and spacious accommodation, a large and very private garden, and a great location on the edge of the East Neuk of Fife, close to local amenities and with good road and rail links to Edinburgh.
"This is a winning combination and the property is likely to appeal to a wide range of buyers."

Antiques Roadshow expert reluctantly values rare spoon and discovers it's worth
A man has been left shocked after being told a set of silver spoons that once belonged to Captain James Cook are worth £20,000. On last night's episode of the long-running BBC series Antiques Roadshow, the experts were at Sefton Park Palm House in Liverpool. It was there that expert Gordon Foster met a descendant of the explorer, who came along with a 'humble' set of items he was keen to get valued. As Gordon explained: 'Eagle-eyed viewers of the roadshow would know we don't often feature silver spoons unless they are something special…and these are.' He went on to share that the spoons were a Georgian pair from 1750 that had Cook's initials engraved on them. On the episode, a repeat from 2022, the man explained that he was the 'fifth grand nephew' of Cook. With one of the spoons passed down as a family heirloom, he obtained the other in an auction after discovering that his item had once been part of a set. He recalled how there'd been 'no limit' on how much he'd spend to have the set in his possession. The items were used by Cook during his journey navigating and claiming Australia in 1770. But as said on the show, while he was celebrated in his day for mapping 'uncharted lands', he now remains a controversial figure for his 'colonial exploits and violent encounters with Indigenous peoples'. When it came time to share his valuation, Gordon said that similar spoons could usually be purchased for around £40. 'But the question is, how much does the provenance add to the spoon? And I can tell you this provenance is like gold dust. This takes this spoon in a completely different stratosphere of value,' he said. 'It is quite incredible. I can say with a lot of confidence that one spoon is worth £10,000.' As the crowd gathered around them gasped, the man's eyebrows raised, and he nodded while taking in the extraordinary value of his items. After briefly being left speechless, he exclaimed: 'That's extraordinary.' Gordon then thanked the man for bringing the items and 'sharing them with us'. More Trending Captain Cook was a British Royal Navy officer, explorer and cartographer who led three important voyages of exploration to the Pacific and Southern Oceans between 1768 and 1779. He was also the first European to visit the east coast of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands. However, he was killed in 1779 during his second visit to Hawaii when a dispute with the native Hawaiians turned violent. View More » Antiques Roadshow is streaming on BBC iPlayer. Got a story?

Beaulieu lauded as among the UK's prettiest mini-breaks
Beaulieu was featured in the list from The Times, which was looking at the villages with special appeal for a short stay. The publication shared: "Whether your ideal village is veering towards a hamlet or one with a rom-com-worthy collection of trendy shops, we've got you covered in this list of the UK's 25 prettiest — all with a gorgeous place to stay." The full list of the UK's 25 prettiest mini-breaks can be found on The Times website here. Why is Beaulieu among the UK's prettiest mini-breaks? Beaulieu was praised for its beauty, posh restaurants and gorgeous architecture among other features. The Times wrote: "This New Forest village is a place of pilgrimage for posh petrolheads, thanks to its National Motor Museum, but there are plenty of other things to see. "On one side of the River Beaulieu are the 13th-century ruins of its abbey plus Palace House, where the car-minded Montagu family have lived since 1538 (£30; "Beaulieu village is on the other side and with its melange of half-timbered and Georgian buildings, is regularly voted one of Britain's most beautiful villages. "Travellers have been arriving at the Montagu Arms since the 17th century. "There are now 33 rooms and suites, a posh restaurant and a pub, Monty's Inn (and, handily, plenty of car parking)." Earlier in the year, Beaulieu was also named as one of Britain's poshest villages for 2025, according to the Daily Mail. Recommended reading: The publication shared: "This Hampshire village hits the posh quota with its sixteenth-century high street and artisan shops. "It's also on the doorstep of both the New Forest and Buckler's Hard, part of the 9,000-acre Beaulieu estate, for those wishing to picnic along the riverside." Its high street offerings and proximity to beautiful countryside definitely make it stand out as a great spot for a break in the county.
