Property Details & Description
Situation
A wonderful and unique proposition, the two properties are located right on the iconic harbour within the sought after East Neuk conservation village of Pittenweem, in the heart of Fife’s beautiful and sought after East Neuk coast. The villages of Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail offer a good range of shops, services, amenities and primary and secondary schools. Pittenweem’s annual arts festival is a very popular event. From Pittenweem there is easy access along the whole of the East Neuk from Elie to Crail. The ancient, historic and cosmopolitan town of St Andrews – the world “Home of Golf” - is less than a twenty-minute drive to the north, offering an excellent range of facilities along with a highly regarded university. The popular county market town of Cupar is some fourteen miles to the north-west and the city of Dundee within a forty-five-minute drive to the north. Edinburgh is about an hour and twenty minutes to the south.
Surrounding Pittenweem is an area of outstandingly beautiful Fife countryside comprising a wonderful mix of fertile farmland, woodland, hill, stunning coastline and river. The area offers an array of wildlife and for the outdoor enthusiast provides a wide range of recreational pursuits including riding, cycling, walking, sailing and golf with many highly rated courses within easy reach including courses at Anstruther, Crail, Kingsbarns, St. Andrews Bay, Elie, Leven, Ladybank, Lundin Links and the numerous fine courses in and around St. Andrews where the Old Course regularly hosts the British Open – the last visit to St. Andrews was in July 2022 for the event’s one hundred and fiftieth anniversary. The properties are well placed for accessing the various pretty fishing villages of Fife’s quaint East Neuk whilst in terms of days out the wide-open spaces of the Lomond Hills are not far away along with a number of popular National Trust for Scotland properties which include Kellie Castle, Hill of Tarvit and Falkland Palace. Fife’s beautiful and varied coastline includes several good sandy beaches such as Kingsbarns, Crail, Elie and St. Andrews with direct access to the popular Fife Coastal Path which winds its way through Pittenweem harbour. There are railway stations at Leuchars, Cupar, Ladybank, Markinch and Kirkcaldy. Edinburgh is airport less than an hour and twenty minutes to the south and the regional airport at Dundee offers a selection of short-haul flights.
