The remains of Sunnybraes Farm: Derelict house, steading and 21.76 acres. The original and now derelict farmhouse and steading are a substantial group of south-facing ruins, as shown on the historical plans, with a magnificent view of Saline Hill. They are located a mile north east of Saline and north of Steelend. The majority of the original stones, which comprised the buildings, are still on site and could be incorporated into a proposed house development. Offers over £108,800 (offers over £5000 per acre).
There is 3 phase electricity and private water near to the ruin. Drainage would be to a septic tank. There is an access road in from Saline up through Killernie Farm.

Planning consent possibilities
Fife Council planning department may consider granting planning consent for a house to replace the ruinous house sometime in the future.

Right of way
There is a public right of way which passes beside West Sunnybraes but this could be diverted around to the south of the proposed house.There may be medium to long term potential for rebuilding the ruin into a house with breath-taking views (subject to securing planning consent).
