Situation
Tigh A' Ghobhainn enjoys a beautiful, idyllic rural setting, enjoying some quite superb coastal and countryside views and very quietly situated, roughly midway, and a short distance inland from, the popular East Neuk villages of Crail and Anstruther / Cellardyke, accessed off the very quiet B940, just under a mile or so from the main A917 which connects St Andrews and Crail. The position of the house is fabulous and the southerly views are quite outstanding. Tigh A' Ghobhainn is located in the East Neuk of Fife - a wonderful, sought-after corner of the county, running from Largo Bay all the way to St Andrews, comprising quaint fishing villages perched around pretty harbours, amazing beaches and fertile farmland. The villages of Crail and Anstruther between provide for all key amenities, including primary and secondary schooling, post offices, local shops, supermarkets, pubs and hotels. Kingsbarns, Pittenweem, St Monans and Elie are also all nearby, dotted along Fife’s glorious coastline. The ancient historic cosmopolitan town of St Andrews is about a 20-minute drive to the north and offers an excellent range of facilities along with the highly regarded university. St Andrews is known worldwide as the “Home of Golf” and the 150th British Open visited in July 2022. About 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 the property 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 itself, 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 local villages. Shooting and fishing may be taken locally and there are some fine pheasant shoots nearby. Crail 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 a number of popular National Trust for Scotland properties, notably Kellie Castle, Hill of Tarvit and Falkland Palace. Fife’s beautiful and varied coastline includes several good sandy beaches such as those at Tentsmuir, Kingsbarns, Elie and St Andrews. State schooling is available locally with private schooling being provided 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.
General Description
Beautiful Tigh A' Ghobhainn is thought to date from the late 1800’s and has a fascinating history as the local smiddy for the surrounding area – meaning that people would have converged from far and wide for the services of the local blacksmith. Deceptively spacious (circa 1,994 sqft), the house has a lovely stone exterior under a slate roof and offers attractive, flexible accommodation over 2 levels, with scope for 2 / 3 reception rooms and 3/ 4 bedrooms, subject to individual requirements. With a lovely southerly aspect the accommodation is light and bright, with the eastern end of the house (extended circa 1989) having excellent scope to be utilised as a self-contained annexe or a holiday let with potential for its own separate front door and lovely generous proportions.
Garden
The generous gardens and grounds at Tigh A' Ghobhainn are an absolute delight. Most extensive, and largely to grass, there is a lovely mix of plants, trees and shrubs. A burn runs along the northern boundary.
