DG. GCH. Comrie House was originally built for the local doctor. It is a well constructed dwelling of some stature and style and the accommodation is uniformly spacious with an attractive array of period features, notably the striking cornicing, American yellow pine doors & pediments, staircase and galleried landing. It is set well back from the public road at the end of a private sweeping drive and is well screened by an established hedge and broadleaved trees. The property benefits from full gas central heating fired by a Worcester condensing boiler, and full double glazing. The semi rural village of Oakley which borders Inzievar Woods, was originally built in connection with the Forth Iron-works (1846), now all gone along with the colliery industry. There is a good selection of shops, churches, a primary school, library & post office. Oakley Health Centre provides health care. The Oakley & Comrie Burns merge in the village making a pleasant walking area in the summer months. The old Dunfermline to Stirling railway line has now been converted to a very pleasant cycle track.
