SITUATION
Smugglers Neuk is set in a side street, close to the centre of Cellardyke. Centred around its picturesque harbour, the quaint former fishing village of Cellardyke lies in the heart of Fife’s historic East Neuk, to the east of the larger village of Anstruther. Steeped in history and with a delightful mix of pretty cottages and town houses built in the local traditional East Neuk style, with stepped gables and red pan tiled roofs, the area has become highly sought after by both tourists and locals alike. In recent years Cellardyke has become renowned for its tidal pools, which are attracting more and more wild swimming enthusiasts.
Elie is only 10 minutes away by road, or it is also possible to walk there along the Fife Coastal Path. Local services and amenities are on hand in the form of a new supermarket and health centre and an excellent range of independent retailers, pubs, hotels and restaurants. There are two good local primary schools, with Waid Academy Secondary School also close by.
Accessibility to the East Neuk is excellent, with St Andrews and Cupar lying less than 20 minutes’ drive to the north, whilst Edinburgh, Glenrothes, Dundee and Perth are all within easy reach. There are mainline railway stations in Cupar, Markinch and Leven, with Edinburgh airport lying about an hour to the south. The delightful picture postcard countryside around Cellardyke is perhaps some of the finest Fife has to offer. Cellardyke and Anstruther have a recently completed new community sports centre and cafe and there is a host of recreational opportunities on hand including walking, cycling, riding, sailing and of course golf, with St Andrews, the world-renowned home of golf, lying a short distance to the north.
DESCRIPTION
Smugglers Neuk forms the first floor of an historic building dating from 1800, which is divided into two apartments (currently under the same ownership). The property is currently used as a successful holiday letting property and is sold fully furnished with all business contents.
The flat is approached from John Street by an entrance door, which leads to stairs to the accommodation on the first floor, extending to circa 35 sqm It comprises an open plan kitchen/ reception room, bedroom and a bathroom. The accommodation is in excellent decorative order and is sold fully furnished with business contents.
A planning application to install roof lights in the attic was granted in 2018 (ref 18/01065) and re-submitted in January 2025, which would create the potential for a second bedroom. On the ground floor of the building is a further apartment (Smugglers Well, 42A John Street), which is currently under the same ownership. A side vennel gives access to a strip of ground at the top of a courtyard, accessed via side access gate.
