Property Description
Noarlunga is a truly remarkable coastal home, occupying a unique position as the only detached house overlooking Cellardyke Harbour. Believed to date from the 18th century and originally a traditional fisherman’s cottage, the property is steeped in character and history while enjoying some of the most spectacular harbour and coastal views in the East Neuk. Situated on a corner plot, the sea-facing house and private garden command breathtaking views across the Firth of Forth towards the Isle of May, Bass Rock and North Berwick Law. The house and surrounding garden walls are Category C Listed and form part of the village's Conservation Area, further enhancing its historical significance. Noarlunga also benefits from being included within the National Trust for Scotland's renowned "Little Houses" scheme. Combining heritage, charm and an exceptional waterfront setting, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Cellardyke's most distinctive and iconic homes.
The accommodation is arranged over three levels and is filled with charm, character and individuality throughout. A welcoming entrance hall leads into the beautifully appointed dining kitchen, which was thoughtfully replaced by the current owners and is presented in a traditional country style. A recently replaced Rayburn stove and classic Belfast sink create a warm and inviting focal point, perfectly complementing the property's heritage. The generously proportioned lounge is equally impressive, featuring a recently replaced gas fireplace and retaining an abundance of period character, creating a comfortable and atmospheric space in which to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
A staircase leads to a mid-level landing, forming part of a creative extension completed in 2023 by RKA Architects of St Andrews. Here, a stylish contemporary shower room and two useful storage cupboards provide excellent practicality, while access is gained to one of the property's most distinctive features. Concealed above are two bespoke sleeping pods, accessed via ladders, offering imaginative and characterful occasional sleeping accommodation.
The first floor hosts two generous double bedrooms together with a spacious bathroom fitted with both a bath and separate shower cubicle. From this level, a further staircase rises to a magnificent top-floor sitting room. Flooded with natural light from Velux windows and benefitting from extensive eaves storage, this wonderful room takes full advantage of the property's elevated position. A door opens directly onto an upper patio terrace, where truly breath-taking views unfold across Cellardyke Harbour, the coastline and the Firth of Forth beyond.
Externally, Noarlunga continues to impress with a charming and unexpectedly private garden, featuring areas of lawn, mature planting and thoughtfully positioned seating areas from which to enjoy the exceptional views across the harbour towards the Isle of May, Bass Rock and North Berwick Law. The property has been further enhanced by the installation of all new timber sash and case windows in 2023 by renowned specialists T J Ross, ensuring the home's historic character is beautifully preserved. Practicality is equally well catered for, with a stone-built store attached to the house at street level, complete with lighting and an electric vehicle charging point, together with a second stone store within the garden grounds benefiting from both power and lighting.
