About this property
Flourloft is a welcoming duplex apartment close to the harbour in the village of Pittenweem in Fife. This coastal abode features a Smart TV and nearby amenities and attractions, making it a lovely base for friends or small families. Wander past the harbour and slip through a quiet white doorway just off the main street, this leads you into a sheltered passageway, where a set of outdoor steps brings you up to Flourloft, a cosy hideaway nestled above the town’s bustle. At this lovely coastal apartment in Fife, there are three bedrooms split over the first and second floors. The two second-floor bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, while the first-floor double bedroom shares Jack-and-Jill access to the bathroom with the main open-plan living accommodation.
From the first-floor bedroom, a door leads into the shared back garden. Step outside into the shared garden, beautifully maintained and bathed in sunlight thanks to its south-facing position. Enclosed by a charming stone wall, it provides a cushy, wind-sheltered space to relax and unwind, just moments from the sea. A superb East Neuk cottage, right on the harbourside. Note: An interconnecting door leads to Ref. 924735, together they sleep 10.
The village of Pittenweem is one of the busiest fishing ports along the East Neuk of Fife and, as such, is a popular attraction for tourists. There is a pub by the delightful harbour, which is surrounded by restored traditional buildings, all adding to its charm. The village name means ‘place of the cave’ and is believed to refer to the cave St Fillan used as a chapel in the 8th century, and where he is reputed to have prepared his sermons by the glow of his arm. The cave is open to the public and sits in Cove Wynd, in the village. The present day Church of Scotland, or The Kirk, sits on the site of the former Pittenweem Priory, an Augustinian Priory dating back to the Middle Ages. Today, the village is popular with tourists and hosts the Pittenweem Arts Festival each August, an event that has grown in size over the years. The East Neuk Festival is another arts festival that also encompasses many of the villages in the area. The village centre sits a few streets back from the shore and boasts a shop, bakers, a Post Office and a café, plus several bars and galleries. From Anstruther, one mile away, take a day trip out into the Firth of Forth and visit the Isle of May, a National Nature Reserve, or visit one of the other attractive coastal villages in this corner of Fife. With St Andrews and Edinburgh easily accessible, there is so much for the visitor to enjoy.
