Spacious East Neuk steading conversion with open plan living close to Crail and St Andrews


Description

Converted in 2005, 4 Grassmiston Steading occupies a corner plot of the development, with private garden looking north over the rolling farmland.

The shared main courtyard to the front leads to the front door, opening up into the light entrance hall. To the right of the hall is a spacious double bedroom with en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes; a bathroom is adjacent. To the left is a room with flexible use from bedroom to office to snug or playroom.

To the rear of the hall, the fantastic open plan living space is arranged over a split-level with dining area and cosy reading nook overlooking the sitting room located a few steps below. Balustrades separate the space to create defined areas. The dual aspect sitting room features two windows overlooking the rear garden, and glazed doors leading outside to the patio and garden beyond. From the dining area, the kitchen with adjoining utility room is accessed. The kitchen’s fitted base and wall units contain integrated appliances such as oven, microwave, dishwasher and hob and there is plenty of room for a breakfast table. A large store cupboard is also accessed from the dining area.

From the entrance hall, stairs lead up to the first floor landing where three further spacious double bedrooms are located, all with modern en suite shower rooms. Each bedroom also has a fitted wardrobe, with additional storage available in a closet accessed from the landing and as well as a cupboard housing the hot water tank. A mixture of dormer, Velux and standard windows provide ample natural light to the bedrooms creating light and airy spaces.

Outside, the garden is accessed from both the patio doors and a rear door from the utility room. A paved patio provides a lovely spot for al fresco dining and is bordered by light gravel with pathways built in leading to other areas of the garden. A section of lawn lies underneath the kitchen window, a few steps up from the patio, with flowerbeds running alongside the border fence. A path leads to the slightly elevated terrace where there is a summer house facing south. This additional space is great throughout the year. An area of lawn lies behind the summer house and extends to the wooden fence line. There are two allocated parking spaces.

Location

4 Grassmiston Steading forms part of a smart steading conversion set in a peaceful rural setting just 1.6 miles north of the charming fishing village of Crail. The village provides direct access to the Fife Coastal Path, voted ‘Best Coastal Path Walk’, Crail to Anstruther by Which magazine in December 2020. The highly sought after community of Crail forms part of the popular East Neuk area in Fife, famous for its pretty fishing villages, sandy unspoilt beaches and rich farmland. Crail is the easternmost of the iconic chain of East Neuk villages, which include neighbouring Anstruther, Pittenweem (home to the famous arts festival), St Monans and Elie.

The property is only 8.5 miles from St Andrews, with its world-renowned university and regarded globally as the “home of golf”. The St Andrews Links Trust now operates seven golf courses at St Andrews including the Old Course, host to the Open Championship in 2022. There are many other courses scattered across the Fife coast including Kingsbarns which is less than 2 miles away.

Crail offers an excellent range of services and amenities and the picturesque village harbour front. There is a variety of independent retailers, a pharmacy, and a Co-op convenience store, as well as a primary school. Waid Academy secondary school in nearby Anstruther has excellent modern facilities. Co-educational private schooling is available in St Andrews.
Access by rail, road and air is good. Edinburgh International Airport (52 miles) is very accessible via the A92 dual carriageway connection from Glenrothes and the M90 motorway. Leuchars railway station (14.1 miles) is on the main Aberdeen to London line and provides a fast link to Edinburgh.
