The property
These garages, once an original Bothy, are nestled in their own private plot, located within 2 miles of St Andrews offering magnificent coastal views. The building has been used for garaging cars since mechanisation became common place. Prior to this and historically, the Bothy served as accommodation for the male unmarried work force for Seafield Farm during our client’s grandfather’s era.

The original stone lintels for door, window and the fire-surround are still visible within the dressed masonry work. The garaging dimensions are approximately 15 x 4.5 metres. There is provision within the plot and within the titles for septic, water and access.

The private grounds offer an area of just under an acre with a mixture of wildflowers and pretty hardwoods which include Oak, Cherry Blossom, Sycamore and Ash. The property is gated, and the boundaries defined securely by post and rylock stock fencing.

The building is nestled in just under an acre; presenting a unique opportunity: for a workshop, storage, grazing or simply a tranquil outdoor space or garden. Alternatively, and subject to the appropriate planning consents, the property could be converted back to the original Seafield Bothy. It should be noted that there is currently no planning permission for Seafield Bothy.

Outside
The property is approached by a driveway over which it benefits from a Right of Access. There is ample parking. The driveway directly links to the Fife coastal path, the cycle path, the main public bus route and the A91.
