Situation
With sea views from the upper floors, Kellie Lodging is centrally located in the delightful conservation village of Pittenweem in the heart of Fife’s beautiful and sought after East Neuk coast. The villages of Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail offer a good range of shops, services and amenities as well as some state of the art primary and secondary schools. Pittenweem’s annual arts festival is a very popular event. From Pittenweem there is easy access along the whole of the East Neuk from Largo Bay / Elie to Crail while St. Andrews – the world “Home of Golf” - is less than a twenty-minute drive to the north, with the ancient historic and cosmopolitan town offering an excellent range of facilities along with a highly regarded university. The popular county market town of Cupar is some fourteen miles to the north-west and the city of Dundee within a forty-five-minute drive to the north. Edinburgh is about an hour and twenty minutes to the south.
Surrounding Pittenweem is an area of outstandingly beautiful Fife countryside comprising a wonderful mix of fertile farmland, woodland, hill, stunning coastline and river. The area offers an array of wildlife and for the outdoor enthusiast provides a wide range of recreational pursuits including riding, cycling, walking, sailing and golf with many highly rated courses within easy reach including courses at Anstruther, Crail, Kingsbarns, St. Andrews Bay, Elie, Leven, Ladybank, Lundin Links and the numerous fine courses in and around St. Andrews where the Old Course regularly hosts the British Open – the last visit to St. Andrews was in July 2022 for the event’s one hundred and fiftieth anniversary.

Fife’s beautiful and varied coastline includes several good sandy beaches such as Kingsbarns, Crail, Tentsmuir, Elie and St. Andrews with access to the popular Fife Coastal Path within easy walking distance of the property.There are railway stations in Leuchars, Cupar, Ladybank, Markinch and Kirkcaldy with Edinburgh airport less than an hour and twenty minutes to the south.

General Description
Kellie Lodging presents a spectacular opportunity in a wonderful village location. Category A listed, and believed to date from circa 1590, the property was originally the town house of the Earls of Kellie whose main residence was the nearby Kellie Castle. Externally Kellie Lodging has a charming painted façade with red pantile roof and a wonderful stone turret / tower, complete with traditional crow steps. The generous accommodation (circa 2,680 sq ft) is over 4 levels and, subject to all relevant permissions and consents, offers great potential and flexibility although is now in need of some modernisation and upgrading. A particular feature of the house is the spectacular spiral staircase in the front turret which provides access to all four floors and leads up to a fairytale turret attic room with sea views.
