About this listing

Situation Quietly positioned in a highly sought-after location to the east of Upper Largo, and a short distance from Earlsferry and Elie, Clematis Cottage forms part of an exclusive steading development of 9 properties on the fringe of Buckthorn Farm. Surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and enjoying lovely distant views across the Firth of Forth and Largo Bay, the property is ideally placed for convenient access to both Edinburgh and St Andrews, as well as Fife’s renowned East Neuk. A public right of way leads directly to the shoreline at Largo Bay and the Scottish Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve at Dumbarnie Links, an important SSSI-designated dune system. Excellent local amenities are available in Lower Largo, Elie and Leven, while a broader range of shops, restaurants and services can be found in the cosmopolitan town of St Andrews and the bustling market town of Cupar, both approximately fifteen minutes away by car. Dundee and Perth are also within easy driving distance, while Edinburgh can be reached in around fortyfive minutes by road. In addition, the newly opened stations at Leven are only ten minutes away, providing excellent rail links and making commuting to Edinburgh particularly convenient. Clematis Cottage lies within an area of outstanding and diverse countryside, where hills, woodland, rivers, farmland and coastline combine to create a superb environment for outdoor pursuits. Walking, cycling, sailing and horse riding are all readily available nearby. Fife is perhaps best known for its exceptional golfing heritage, with a remarkable concentration of championship courses in the area. These include the nearby Dumbarnie Links and the world-renowned Old Course at St Andrews, regular host of The Open Championship. Other highly regarded courses can be found at Elie, Lundin Links, Leven and Crail. The charming fishing villages of the East Neuk, including St Monans, Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail, are all within easy reach, as are several outstanding beaches such as Elie, Tentsmuir and St Andrews. The wide-open spaces of the Lomond Hills also offer excellent opportunities for recreation and exploration. Shooting and fishing are available locally. State schooling is provided within the local catchment area, while independent schooling is available at St Leonards School in St Andrews and The High School of Dundee. Railway stations can be found at Leven, Markinch and Ladybank and Cupar, with Edinburgh Airport approximately forty minutes away by road. Description Once part of a former farm steading and later the kitchen for Scotland’s Larder, Clematis Cottage is a charming country property enjoying an attractive courtyard setting. The house is constructed of stone beneath a traditional pantile roof, with particularly attractive architectural features including sandstone quoins and finely detailed surrounds to the windows and archways. The property is approached from the parking area to the rear, where a door opens into the entrance hall. Beyond lies a spacious open-plan kitchen and reception room with a tiled floor and three arches incorporating full-length astragalled windows and a door opening onto the courtyard garden. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of floor and wall-mounted units, together with a gas hob and electric oven. Also accessed from the entrance hall is a WC, which in turn leads to a useful utility room. The bedroom accommodation is arranged on the upper floor and comprises three bedrooms, including one with an en suite shower room, together with a family bathroom. The property benefits from views out over. Accommodation Ground Floor: Open-plan sitting room/dining area/kitchen with wood burning stove.
