Sharps Close 1, so named as it housed the workers for Sharp & Murray's oilskin factory, dates back to 1840. Partly having lain derelict, this old fisherman's cottage has been completely renovated to a high modern standard, while still retaining its original character.
Nestling just off the picturesque George Street, steps lead down the close, just 50 metres to the sea shore. The main door to Sharps Close 1 is accessed from the close, opening into a large open-plan sitting-room diner, with well equipped kitchen which includes gas hob, electric oven, double drainer sink, dishwasher and washing machine. There is also a small bedroom, with double sofa bed, and WC on this level.
Stairs lead to 2 main bedrooms, both with sea views, and a large family shower room.
The house is fully double glazed, extremely well insulated and heated with gas central heating.
If East Neuk is one of life's forgotten corners of the UK, then the lovely fishing village of Anstruther is the jewel in its crown. Packed with cosy pubs and a variety of cafes and restaurants, including one Michelin-starred restaurant, and not forgetting its world-famous fish and chip shops. The narrow streets also offer boutiques and galleries for those just wishing to enjoy a few days in a relaxing way. There is a supermarket plus two convenience stores, a great butcher on the harbour plus an artisan baker.
Boat trips run from Anstruther harbour to the Isle of May, St Andrews is just 9 miles away and all along the coast are pretty harbour towns and some beautiful beaches. East Neuk is also blessed with numerous fabulous golf courses to suit all levels and wallets.
Historic Edinburgh is just an hour away for those looking for culture and adventure.
Golf tours and bookings can be advised and/or arranged.
