A 'lovelly' place to live......

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The estate is really close to the main high street. Although small it has two convenience stores both open from early morning until 10pm. The train station also just off the high street has excellent links along the east coast, around 40mins to Edinburgh Waverly and 1hr 30 to Glasgow Central. Council services are efficient and bins are collected as scheduled on the fife council website. It is a quiet place to live. My house is on a crescent off the main thoroughfare to Burnt island and Kirkcaldy. The road is busy during the usual busy times of day. There are signs showing 20 mph intersected with traffic calming bumps and a light controlled pedestrian crossing. There is ample parking in overflow bays in the estate and for that matter throughout Kinghorn.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The estate Facebook group. Please don't believe every moan and gripe people post. There was apparently and infestation of rats on the estate recently. Nonsense as we live in the countryside surrounded by fields with a loch nearby. Birdseed attracts rodents as well as the intended recipients simply stopping that or cutting back and not leaving food out overnight soon stopped 'the plague' (there was one mouse actually spotted) !!!!
What is the best feature of your home:
Its the perfect size for the four of us and our two dogs. Two en suite double bedrooms, and lovely open plan downstairs layout. My front door is 10 mins to either the harbour or in the opposite direction Kinghorn loch.

Lochside Grange Kinghorn - village community, great location.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Kinghorn itself is a small seaside village with several local shops, pubs, excellent beaches, churches and restaurants. Local buses are regular and the short drive to the larger towns of Kirkcaldy, Burntisland and Dunfermline makes this a convenient quiet location to live. Lochside Grange is a quiet semi-rural site, very close to open countryside and farming communities. Local food producers and a Community ecology centre are a short walk away too.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Adoption of the local roads has been very slow to progress, as a result access roads are not yet council maintained.
What is the best feature of your home:
The layout of our 3 bedroom house is excellent - three good size bedrooms (no box rooms), 4 bathrooms (2 ensuite), generous garden space. Garden access through patio doors

The road is busy but with the speed restriction doesn’t affect as much as it used to.
What is the best feature of your home:
Location and spacious rooms, design layout of downstairs areas is very family friendly

If I had the opportunity to speak to residents prior to moving in to establish the issues and snagging I would have chosen a different development
