Shore Cottage, Anstruther- stylish home by the sea
Shore Cottage is a charming Victorian detached home very close to the sea. With two bedrooms, two shower rooms and a bright open plan living room with dining kitchen it is a superb holiday home which also benefits from a private garden (with outdoor seating and barbecue) and driveway parking for two vehicles. It is located right on the Fife Coastal Path near to the beach, with Anstruther Golf course with fabulous sea views at the end of the quiet street.
The cottage is close to restaurants and shops, yet enjoys a quiet location as it is tucked away from the busiest part of town.
Shore Cottage is a very stylish home, retaining some original features like the stunning Highland Piper Cornice that greets you in the hallway, yet is superbly modernised with up to date shower rooms and kitchen facilities. Owned by an artist, there are plenty of stylish touches throughout including bold colours and original artwork which blend beautifully with the traditional features.
The ground floor has high ceilings and an airy spacious feel to the bright main living space, with light on three sides and French doors off the kitchen into the garden for outdoor dining. There is a shower room on the ground floor. Upstairs has more of a cottage feel with lower ceilings and dormer windows and houses a king bedroom and a twin bedroom with a shower room completing the accommodation. Shore Cottage prides itself in being a well appointed, proper ‘home from home’ with a well equipped kitchen and quality furnishings.
Shore Cottage is managed by local family business Pittenweem Properties and we will be on hand to assist where required. Guests will be contacted with check in details etc ahead of your stay and a digital guest book provided to allow you to plan ahead and make the most of your stay

For the ‘Foodie’ visitor, Anstruther boasts the award winning Anstruther Fish Bar, and The Cellar, a Michelin Star restaurant. Pittenweem has The Dory Bistro and Gallery as well as a wonderful chocolate shop and café called the Cocoa Tree.
