Pitlessie House, a Grade II listed Georgian Manor House, set in 0.5 acres of private grounds, is a delightful small country house in North East Fife, only 15 minutes from St Andrews.
Built in 1737 by the merchant George Heggie of Pitlessie, later Baillie (Provost) of Kirkcaldy, Pitlessie House - the historically most important property in the area - is situated in the village of Pitlessie in the Howe of Fife on the banks of the river Eden.
Developed in the 18th century in association with Priestfield Farm and Maltings, the estate of Pitlessie extended to upwards of 495 Scots acres and included 'a thriving plantation of 44 acres of woods'. It contained 'the town and village of Pitlessie and the command of the water of the river Eden' - which supplied the corn (wheat) and barley mills. This was 'of great value for manufacturing purposes' as advertised in 1819 by Mrrs. Geo.Heggie, W.S. Castle Street Edinburgh.
In 1819 Pitlessie House was described as 'an excellent dwelling house and commodious steading in a very fine situation' in the parish of Cults.
Today, it is the centre of family life, beautifully restored and immaculately kept. We absolutely love it here.
