Tucked into a corner of the east coast of Scotland between St Andrews and Edinburgh, the East Neuk of Fife is one of Scotland's most beautiful regions. It has a character all its own, attracting artists by the thousands to its unique combination of history, sea, farmland and beaches, its picturesque fishing villages with their Dutch-style houses and its world famous golf courses. There is so much to do here for the whole family, from kayaking to horse riding, and yet there is great peace here too. In the summer, flowers line the hedgerows and the fields are rich with crops while fishing boats bob in the sea. It's a perfect place to relax, to eat well, and to recharge the batteries. Eight coastal villages comprise the East Neuk - each with its own special character.

• The area is famous for its links golf courses, with a wide choice in the immediate locality and within 30 minutes drive.
• Head to St Andrews, home of Scotland's oldest university, and stroll along the two-mile stretch of pristine beach, West Sands, where Chariots of Fire was filmed.
• Several attractive country and coastal walks can be accessed directly from the house.
• For water-sports enthusiasts or anyone who wants to try something new, there is a choice of water sports in the nearby town of Elie, which also has a beautiful harbour and beach.
• Tentsmuir Forest and beach on the outskirts of St Andrews (within a half hour drive) is great for exploring; if you want to venture further afield, the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park offers some lovely opportunities for longer walks in the Scottish hills.

Crail is probably the most attractive of the historic fishing villages in the 'East Neuk' Of Fife.The picturesque ancient harbour has been captured on canvas by many artists. Enjoy a feast on fresh lobster and crab which can be purchased daily from the harbour. Wander down the narrow wynds and cobbled streets with it historic architecture, art galleries, local pottery and antique shops.

Caiplie Farmhouse is a stunningly renovated traditional house occupying a spectacular south-facing position on the north shore of the Firth of Forth. The house dates from the 1800's and the surrounding steading was developed in the 1990's to provide 7 properties known as Caiplie Court. The settlement is reached by way of a tarmac road leading from the main road past the Caiplie Dovecot, cresting a hill to reveal the collection of houses below. Caiplie Farmhouse has a generous driveway through stone pillars with ample parking. There are two EV charging points provided which can be accessed via an App at your own cost.

Entering the house through the side door there is a small vestibule with a utility area off where you will find a washing machine, tumble dryer and Belfast sink. There is also a small storage cupboard. Turn right and this leads you into the modern kitchen with fridge/freezer, dishwasher, induction hob and double oven. There is a Nespresso coffee machine, a Quooker tap and a wall-mounted TV. There is a counter with six stools and the kitchen also has a wood-burning stove.

Through the kitchen you enter the conservatory with a full dining table and additional seating area on a lower level with bi-fold doors opening onto a small patio area. The main glazed section of the conservatory has a door leading out into the beautiful walled garden. This area together with the kitchen benefit from underfloor heating and there is an air-conditioning facility in the conservatory. There is also a Sonos sound system serving both areas.
