51 John Street is a wonderful sea front 3 level cottage, superbly located on the coast and set within the sought after East Neuk conservation village of Cellardyke - close to the iconic village harbour and the celebrated cold water tidal pool. Cellardyke connects with the adjoining larger village of Anstruther to the west, and together they have a thriving community and a very good range of shops, services and amenities. The other villages of the East Neuk, including Crail, Pittenweem, St Monans and Elie are within easy reach. The ancient, historic and cosmopolitan town of St Andrews is about a 20-minute drive to the north and offers an excellent range of facilities, along with a highly regarded university. St Andrews is known worldwide as the “Home of Golf” and was host to the 150th British Open Championship in July 2022.
Approximately 18 miles to the north-west is Cupar, Fife’s bustling county market town, which also provides a good range of services. Dundee is within a 45-minute drive to the north, with Edinburgh about an hour and 20 minutes to the south. Surrounding Cellardyke is an area of outstanding Fife countryside comprising a lovely mix of fertile farmland, woodland, hill, stunning coastline and river. The result is home to an array of wildlife and for the outdoor enthusiast provides an area offering access to a wide range of recreational pursuits including riding, cycling, walking, sailing and golf. There are many highly rated golf courses within easy reach including the renowned courses at Crail, Kingsbarns, St Andrews Bay, Elie, Leven, Lundin Links and the numerous fine courses in and around St Andrews.
The popular Fife coastal path runs through the village close to the property and the Cellardkye tidal pool and harbour is within walking distance. Cellardyke is well placed for accessing the various other 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 several popular National Trust for Scotland properties, notably Kellie Castle, Hill of Tarvit and Falkland Palace. Fife’s beautiful and varied coastline includes good sandy beaches such as those at Tentsmuir, Kingsbarns, Elie and St Andrews. State schooling is available locally with private schooling at St Leonards, in St Andrews. There are railway stations at Cupar, Ladybank, Markinch and Kirkcaldy with Edinburgh airport less than an hour and 20 minutes to the south.
