3 SITUATION High Street is in the conservation village of Pittenweem in the East Neuk of Fife. Although conveniently located in the town centre, the sea views from the house are breathtaking, reaching over the Firth of Forth to the rolling East Lothian countryside and the Lammermuirs to the south. The East Neuk of Fife, running from St Andrews to Largo Bay, boasts a number of fishing villages built around traditional harbours, unspoilt sandy beaches and fertile farmland. The town has a number of local services including independent shops such as the bakery, a pharmacy/newsagent, doctor s surgery and a primary school. The area also has a rich heritage in regional produce and there are a number of well-regarded restaurants including the award winning Craig Miller Seafood Restaurant in nearby St Monans and The Cellar in Anstruther, specialising in freshly caught seafood, while The Peat Inn, about 10 miles away, is considered to be one of the best restaurants in Scotland. A new arrival to the dining scene will open its doors this spring on East Shore by the Harbour. There is also a vibrant arts and crafts community centred on the town and it is host to the Pittenweem Arts Festival to which artists and visitors travel from far and wide. Secondary schooling is available at Waid Academy in Anstruther, a little over a mile away, where there is a Co-op supermarket, as well as a further range of local facilities. There are many golf courses in the area including all the world famous St Andrews courses, Kingsbarns, Elie and Crail. St Andrews, the Home of Golf, is only 11 miles away. This world famous town has a good range of shops and professional services and is well known for its university which is one of the oldest in Britain. Co-educational private education is available at St Leonards.

4 Access by rail, road and air is good. Cupar (16 miles) and Leuchars (17 miles) railway stations are on the main Aberdeen to London line and provide a fast link to Edinburgh and Dundee. There is a dual carriageway and motorway connection to Edinburgh and its airport (44 miles) from Glenrothes (17.5 miles). Dundee Airport (25 miles) has scheduled flights to London Stansted. DESCRIPTION High Street is a traditional stone built property which has incorporated the former retail unit on the ground floor into the townhouse above. The conversion of the ground floor adds a particularly versatile element to the house whether as studio, gallery space or domestic accommodation. The accommodation is arranged over three floors. The main entrance from the street opens into the former shop. This is now a spacious reception room with an adjacent bedroom. Both rooms have the original large windows, neatly screened by curtains and currently utilised by the neighbouring galleries as display space. To the back of the house is a utility room which doubles a second kitchen for outside dining. The fitted units house an oven and microwave, extractor fan, induction hob and additional oven below. There is also a sink with drainer, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer and a pulley strung from the ceiling. Off the inner hall and cloakroom there is a WC and steps lead into the garden room where there are French doors into the garden. The second entrance from the street provides a direct access to the garden room and facilitates the possibility of subdividing the property. A staircase sweeps up from the cloakroom to the first floor accommodation. The kitchen has been renovated to a high standard with a good range of cabinets set beneath a white composite stone worktop and housing a range of integrated appliances including extractor fan, induction hob, an oven and microwave, sink, dishwasher and fridge drawers. A breakfast room extends from the kitchen and opens through concertina doors onto a balcony with a glass balustrade. The breathtaking views extend over the roof tops to the harbour and East Neuk skerries and on to the Isle of May and Bass Rock. The library is a formal sitting room with a wood burner set into the fireplace beneath an impressive stone mantelpiece. The sitting room and dining room have been knocked together to create a triple aspect, bright room where the south facing window frames the sea view. A modern gas fire is neatly set into the wall so not to interrupt the flow of the room. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms, both with spectacular views, a dressing room and a shower room which has two heated towel rails, WC and wash basin. Outside The garden has been elegantly landscaped. It is accessed from the house through French doors from the garden room. The central part of the garden is laid to gravel and edged on either side by planted borders. There is an outside seating and dining area on a patio by the garden room and a second raised deck provides a superb vantage point at the end of the garden. A summerhouse served with electricity offers a cosier alternative to make the most of the lovely setting. There are two garden sheds providing plenty of storage space.
