Along with the harbour, the property is only a short walk from an array of amenities including a bakery, chemist, doctor’s surgery, post office, hairdressers, and grocery stores. In addition, there are bustling cafès, pubs, and restaurants to discover including the Clock Tower Café and the Dory Bistro and Gallery. Art galleries, boutiques, and gift shops sit side by side giving you the chance to peruse prints, ceramics, paintings, and more. Nearby Anstruther has an expansive Co-op Food along with an award-winning fish and chip shop. Primary school education is catered for and there is a high school in Anstruther. Further options for retail, dining, and leisure are available in the historic town of St Andrews, just under eleven miles away. Renowned as the “home of golf” it is also home to the internationally recognised University of St Andrews. Pittenweem is within easy reach of neighbouring scenic fishing villages including Anstruther, St Monans, and Crail. Dundee to the north is a forty-minute drive and Edinburgh is approx. 80 minutes by car or an hour by train from Leuchars.

Centred around a working harbour embraced by several historic houses restored by The National Trust of Scotland, Pittenweem is a small and pretty fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife that offers an array of activities. The Fife Coastal Path offers wonderful opportunities to explore this breathtaking part of the country either on foot or by bike with nearby villages including Anstruther and St Monans. The beautiful coastline means there are a wide variety of outdoor attractions for all ages to enjoy such as paddle boarding, wild swimming, and sailing or taking a dip in the tidal pool. Keen golf enthusiasts will be in their element with The Crail Golfing Society only a fifteen-minute drive. The 7th oldest club in the world, it is home to two courses, the Balcomie Links and Craighead Links, both of which offer stunning views of the Forth and Tay Estuaries. Other local clubs to discover include those at Lundin Links and Kingsbarns and of course the world-famous Old Course at St Andrews. Interesting buildings to visit in the village include Kellie Lodge, a late 16th century townhouse that was once the residence of the earls of Kellie, the parish church, and the ruins of the 12th century Augustinian priory. St Fillan’s Cave is now a shrine to the saint and can be found beneath the priory. Balcaskie House and Kellie Castle are also well worth a visit. There are several attractive sandy beaches nearby including those at Elie and Earlsferry that are particularly popular in the height of summer. State schooling is provided locally at the primary level with high school provision in Anstruther. Private options are available at St Leonards in St Andrews and at The High School of Dundee. An efficient bus service connects Pittenweem to towns throughout Fife, and there are railway stations at Leuchars, Ladybank, Kirkcaldy and Markinch. Edinburgh International Airport is approximately one hour and twenty minutes away.

General Description
A highly established holiday let, this beautifully presented and rarely available five-bedroom seafront Pittenweem home spanning three floors, blends comfort, style, and timeless charm with breathtaking views. Lying behind a low stone seawall the property immediately captivates with its outstanding position and outlook. Stepping inside, you are welcomed by a light and airy entrance vestibule and hallway featuring a crisp décor and leading out to the rear garden. To the right, a south-east-facing living room overlooking the sea exudes a wonderful feeling of warmth and cosiness thanks to its décor of wooden flooring, soft neutral wall finishes, and a living flame fireplace nestled in an oak mantle. Opposite the dining kitchen impresses with its generous proportions and high-quality finishes. Opening to the garden from the kitchen and with an outlook across the coastline from the dining area, it is very much at the heart of the home and its thoughtful design and log-burning stove help to differentiate the two spaces. Predominantly boasting white base units, a metro-tiled splashback, and bespoke solid oak worktops, the kitchen remains streamlined with a charming rustic quality, enhanced by the presence of an integrated range cooker. An adjoining utility provides further storage. Completing the ground floor layout is a luxurious, classically-styled bathroom with marble-effect floor tiles providing the backdrop to an indulgent freestanding roll-top bath, rainfall shower enclosure, WC, washbasin, and chrome towel radiator. A traditional whitewashed box staircase ushers you to the first floor and a stunning south-east-facing living room. Twin windows frame spectacular sea views and flood the space with light. Adorned with an elegant ceiling rose and a cast iron fireplace set in a white mantle it is the perfect place to relax as you take in the natural landscape. On this floor lie three light and airy bedrooms, two double and a single, each enjoying a sophisticated minimalist aesthetic. Sea facing, the double bedroom to the front, features a focal white mantlepiece and a ceiling rose which add to its charm, whilst a second bedroom overlooking the garden, boasts a focal oak mantlepiece with ornate decoration above. Ascending to the second floor, a magnificent principal double bedroom enjoys a refined interior design along with an inviting seating area and a striking white feature sandstone mantlepiece. Along with the second double bedroom on this floor, it benefits from Velux windows offering a captivating aspect and ensuring an abundance of natural light. They share access to a well-appointed bathroom with a bath with a wall-mounted shower, WC, and washbasin built into vanity.

EXTERIOR
A charming courtyard leads up to the garden. Here a tranquil seating area bordering the lawn offers a peaceful place to relax and a delightful peacock sculpture* by the Designer Kev Paxton K Paxton Blacksmith | Scottish Blacksmith Edinburgh provides a wonderful talking point.

To the front, the seawall offers ample space for seating and there is direct beach access, via stone steps, making it a truly wonderful spot to enjoy the natural beauty of the coastline.

On-street parking is available in the surrounding streets.

*Peacock sculpture available by separate negotiation.
