Situation

Lying on the east side of the scenic village of Crail next to Denburn Wood, this three-bedroom former Coach House is minutes from local amenities along with the harbour. The vibrant high street of this former Royal Burgh offers an array of shops to meet daily needs including a Co-op, chemist, greengrocer, butcher, and hairdresser. Additionally, there is a beautiful historic parish church and popular cafès, art galleries, and pottery studios. The Category A Listed Golf Hotel complete with a restaurant and bar adds to the local amenities and the character of the village. Kingsbarns Distillery on the outskirts provides a lovely place to relax with a terrace and café. Primary school education is catered for and there is a high school in Anstruther. Further options for retail, dining, and leisure are available in the historic town of St Andrews, just under ten miles away. Renowned as the “home of golf” it is also home to the internationally recognised University of St Andrews. Crail is within easy reach of neighbouring scenic fishing villages including Anstruther, St Monans, and Pittenweem. Dundee to the north is a forty-minute drive and Edinburgh is approx. 90 minutes by car or an hour by train from Leuchars.

Crail stands as the most easterly village along the East Neuk of Fife and holds the distinction of being one of the earliest Royal Burghs of Scotland. Nestled along the picturesque Fife Coastal Path and famous for its harbour, it offers wonderful opportunities to explore this breathtaking part of the country. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and coastline there are a wide variety of outdoor attractions for all ages to enjoy. Experience adventure at East Neuk Outdoors where you can try paddle boarding, archery, mountain biking and more, or explore Lomond Hills Regional Park with 25 square miles of moorland, farmland, and lochs perfect for cycling, riding, and walking. Keen golf enthusiasts will be in their element with The Crail Golfing Society. The 7th oldest club in the world, it is home to two courses, the Balcomie Links and Craighead Links, both of which offer stunning views of the Forth and Tay Estuaries. Other local clubs to discover include those at nearby Kingsbarns and the world-famous Old Course at St Andrews. Kellie Castle and Gardens, owned by The National Trust for Scotland, is also well worth a visit and is a fine example of Victorian style and medieval stonework. There are several attractive sandy beaches nearby including those at Elie and Earlsferry that are particularly popular in the height of summer. State schooling is provided locally at the primary level with high school provision in Anstruther. Private options are available at St Leonards in St Andrews and at The High School of Dundee. An efficient bus service connects Crail to towns throughout Fife, and there are railway stations at Leuchars, Ladybank, Kirkcaldy and Markinch. Edinburgh International Airport is approximately one hour and twenty minutes away.
