The nearby village of Tayport offers local shopping and as well as a marina and primary and nursery schools.

Description
Vicarsford Lodge is a single storey house built in 1904 of stone under a pitched slate roof. It has front facing gables at either side with a low wall creating a terrace at the front door.
Internally the house is bright, spacious and well maintained. It is double glazed throughout and benefits from solar panels.
There is an impressive drawing room in the centre of the house with a marble fireplace and solid fuel stove. The dining room and kitchen are behind the drawing room with a conservatory off the dining room. The kitchen is fully fitted and has a utility room to the side.
There are three en suite bedrooms in the main part of the house, one off the entrance hall and two off an inner hall which can also be used as a study. The house has been extended with an annex to the side adding two bedrooms with a shared shower room. All the bedrooms have built in wardrobes and all the bath and shower rooms have been renewed in recent years with good quality modern fittings.
A flat in the annex has a bedsit, bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom. There is a balcony opening into the orchard.
