Situation:

Easter Newburn Steading enjoys a beautiful, elevated country setting, enjoying some quite magnificent views out over the Firth of Forth and very quietly situated, roughly midway between the popular villages of Upper Largo and Largoward, a short distance off the main A915 that connects St Andrews and Upper Largo. The position of the house is breath-taking and the southerly views out over the Firth of Forth and along the Fife coastline, are quite outstanding. Newburn 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 Lower Largo and Upper Largo provide primary schooling, a post office, local shops, a garage, a pub and a hotel. The adjoining villages of Elie and Earlsferry, with their beautiful sandy beach and sheltered bay, are about 4 miles distant. Sailing and water sports are available at Elie and there is an historic 18 hole golf course along with a 9 hole course suitable for beginners. Elie is well served by shops, pubs and cafés including the renowned Ship Inn. Elie Sports Club offers tennis courts and a bowling club.

The area is well suited for walking, cycling and horse riding, with the Fife Pony Club available for younger enthusiasts. St Andrews, the ancient and historic university town, renowned worldwide as the "Home of Golf" and host of the 2022 150th Open Championship, is about 12 miles distant. A newly constructed secondary school (Madras College) is located in St Andrews with private schooling available in the town at St Leonards and also the High School of Dundee. The area around Newburn is well suited for golfers with a number of highly rated courses within easy striking distance such as Ladybank, Crail, Lundin Links, Kingsbarns and the already renowned new championship course at Dumbarnie Links which is only a mile or so from the house. Edinburgh is within an hour's drive of Newburn whilst Edinburgh Airport provides both domestic and international flights and is approximately a 45-minute drive away. There are railway stations at Kirkcaldy, Ladybank, Markinch and Cupar.

General Description

Lovingly refurbished, improved and significantly extended by the current owners, Easter Newburn Steading is a substantial and magnificent country property comprising an entire dark stone / red pantile traditional Fife steading with delightful central courtyard / terrace, extensive garden and adjoining field / paddock, all in the most majestic Fife countryside and highly commutable to St Andrews, Edinburgh and the central belt. The flexible spacious accommodation is very well-presented and is readily “splitable” making it well-suited as a potential income generating Airbnb property or alternatively for muti-generational living.

As currently configured, there are 5 / 6 bedrooms along with 3 superb reception rooms, with the stunning new west wing extension – with sitting room / dining room, separate mezzanine area accessed via spiral staircase, bi-folding doors and underfloor heating - particularly impressive and offering superb highly spacious modern double height living space. In total the accommodation extends to approximately 3,200 sq ft although, subject to individual requirements and all relevant permissions and consents, it is believed that there could potentially be scope to extend further into the adjoining remaining unconverted outbuildings. Early viewing is advised.

Garden

Easter Newburn Steading stands in extensive grounds, essentially laid to grass and with an exquisite very sheltered private central courtyard with terrace. There is driveway parking for several vehicles.

Outbuildings

Excellent modern workshop with office above

Large modern double garage

3 former stables

Field

Adjacent to the house, and also with separate access directly off the public road, is a field extending to 9.04 acres. The field is currently cropped but would also be well-suited for sheep / ponies.
