KEYS TO KNOW

Where is it: South Kinaldy House, near St Andrews, Fife. What is it: A rural steading conversion with a sitting room, dining room, breakfasting kitchen, five bedrooms, all ensuite and a landscaped garden of three-quarters of an acre.

The use of local elm and yew throughout the house is imaginative, unique and beautiful and the bespoke kitchen is a delight.
