Rare opportunity to purchase a picturesque two bedroomed, detached, stone built cottage in a conservation area in the desirable village of Ceres.

The cottage is situated above the pack horse Bishop's Bridge on the Fife Pilgrim Way. It is so called because it was regularly crossed by Archbishop Sharp on his journeys between St. Andrews from Edinburgh. There is an abundance of local parking over the bridge, and on the High Street itself. The cottage overlooks the Ceres Burn and is adjacent to the Fife Folk museum and coffee shop. Slightly farther away are several good shops, a 17th century pub, another hotel, and the famous Griselda Hill (Wemyss) pottery. The oldest Highland Games in Scotland is held on the village green nearby.

Ceres is seven miles from St. Andrews, and three miles from the market town of Cupar, which lies on the main Edinburgh/ Dundee/Aberdeen railway line.

The accommodation comprises: entrance hallway, lounge with gas living-flame fire, a large dining/kitchen with integrated appliances including electric oven, gas hob, fridge, dish-washer and washer-drier, all of which are included in the sale. There is a wall mounted recently renewed (2018) gas central heating boiler.

From the hallway the stair rises to a mezzanine floor, which is spacious and bright, and would be ideal as an office/study space. The stair then continues to the upper floor where there are two double bedrooms, both with windows to the front and rear of the cottage, and a spacious bathroom with a shower over the bath. There is a hatch providing access to the roof space. The property was completely renovated, to a very high standard, in 1999.

Externally, to the front, there is a plantar border, and a stone chipped driveway. There is a platform for bins, behind which is a timber shed, suitable for bicycles.

From the mezzanine floor a door leads to a porch giving access to a small, very private, tiered garden, with two flagstoned patio areas, providing views to the south and west. There is access to the garden from the street by a stairway at the side of the house.

Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    We have been helping Dundee, Fife, Angus and Perthshire families with their property needs for generations. Throughout our long history and through ever-changing property markets, we have always focussed on what our clients need, and delivered services built round them. From the 1960s onwards, Thorntons grew to become the largest Scottish-based solicitor estate agency in our operating area.  In the 1980s, we became the first local solicitor estate agent to open the now-familiar high street property shop.   A significant game-changing merger in 1990 transformed the estate agency landscape locally and the firm expanded, opening bustling property shops throughout Dundee and Angus. These property shops gave buyers and sellers their first experience of the one-stop shop’ approach by providing a full range of complementary estate agency and legal services. Building on these solid foundations the firm continued to grow and develop our offering for clients.  In the early 1990s we expanded into Perthshire.  Our most recent expansion has been into Fife in 2014 with mergers with the successful firms Murray Donald and Steel Eldridge Stewart. A number of key staff in our property team have been involved in the evolution of this highly successful operation over recent years.  They have witnessed the expansion of the firm’s market share in both existing and new build property sales, particularly evident in the boom years from 2004 to 2008.  During that period the residential property market provided tremendous opportunities for the firm to harness its strengths and invest for the future. During the less buoyant years which followed, we continued to move forward and prepare for the resurgence of activity in the property market.  Even when the market was at its toughest, we continued to invest in our people and systems to maintain our position and deliver the best service for sellers and buyers. The last 25 years have seen tremendous changes in market demands, with new technology and online opportunities opening up innovative ways for us to deliver services to clients. As well as extending our online client communication we have also invested strongly to provide late night and weekend openings. This ensures buyers and sellers can speak to someone in our branches who will be able to help – at a time that suits them. Our strong involvement with the local solicitors’ property centres continues and forms an important part of our offering.  We have also embraced newer nation-wide online platforms to give sellers the widest choice possible. We continually look to provide our services in an innovative and flexible way – always with the emphasis on what our clients need. And we look forward to building on our past as we continue to deliver top quality estate agency and property services across Dundee, Fife, Angus and Perthshire into the future. Phone Lines Open Monday to Friday 9am - 8pm Saturdays 9am to 4pm Sundays 12pm - 4pm

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
