The cottage

Old stone.
New soul.

An 18th-century stone cottage transformed into something truly special — ancient character meets bold contemporary design.

Rose Cottage sits in the quiet hamlet of Chance Inn, just 9 miles from St Andrews and the East Neuk coastline. The original stone shell has been extended and redesigned — exposed oak beams, a sage-green shaker kitchen with brass hardware, a feature wishing well in the garden, and picture-frame windows framing long views over the Fife countryside.

Sleeping up to 8 across three bedrooms and a sofa bed in the snug, it suits couples, families with children, or a group of golfers exploring the home of the game.

  • 3 bedrooms + snug sofa bed
  • Sleeps up to 8 guests
  • Log burner & wood stove
  • Exposed oak ceiling beams
  • Countryside picture window
  • Feature wishing well garden
  • Nespresso + black & gold appliances
  • 2 off-street parking spaces + on-street parking

  • Mezzanine gaming den

    A mezzanine nook with an overhead projector, games consoles and Netflix — the kids won't want to leave.

  • Solar & heating features

    Solar panels, battery storage, an air source heat pump and an EV charging point.

  • Picture-frame views

    Wake up to Fife countryside framed through the signature picture window, changing with every season.

Mezzanine nook

A hidden gem

The Mezzanine Nook

Tucked above the main living space, the mezzanine is one of Rose Cottage's most talked-about features. Warm ambient lighting and a full entertainment setup make it the favourite spot in the house — for kids and adults alike.

Whether it's a movie night under the rafters or a rainy afternoon gaming session, it is an entertainment space, not an additional bedroom.

  • Overhead projector & large screen
  • Games consoles
  • Netflix, Disney+ & streaming
  • Cosy reading nook with countryside views
