This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a semi-detached cottage nestling on the edge of Tentsmuir Forest, just a few miles from the popular coastal town of Tayport, which offers a number of local amenities including shops, primary school and within approximately 8 miles of Dundee city centre. If you dream of living in a tranquil setting with just the sound of nature to wake you in the mornings, then this could be the property for you. Once a forester’s cottage, it offers good sized accommodation all on one level with delightful surrounding cottage style gardens.
The accommodation has been upgraded over the years by the present owner to comprise a vestibule, hallway, good-sized lounge with log burner, sunroom which looks out to the gardens, kitchen, two double bedrooms and bathroom. Benefits include partial double glazing, lpg heating and solar panels which heat the water throughout the summer months. The property sits in a well-proportioned corner garden which has areas of lawn, borders planted with mature shrubs and trees, vegetable beds, greenhouse, garden shed and a gate which opens into the forest.
The appeal of this property is undoubtedly the location, however the access to the property is 1.8-miles up an unmade road and will therefore not suit everyone. It should be noted that due to this, lending may be restricted or not available at all, and we strongly urge potential buyers to check with their lender prior to arranging viewings.
The opening of the Tay road bridge in 1966 ensured Dundee became easily accessible from north-east Fife.
Tayport, Newport-on-Tay and Wormit are strung along the estuary's southern bank hillside, enjoying spectacular views over the river and the two bridges. Away from the waterfront are villages like Gauldry and Balmerino, with the latter's beauty and ruined 13th Century abbey celebrated in verse by William McGonagall. It enjoys Conservation Area status.
Newport was briefly christened "New Dundee" by Guildrymen who financed development plans. The pier and inn date back to 1715 with a Telford-designed harbour built in 1820.
Tayport rubs up against the Tentsmuir Nature Reserve and is home to Scotscraig Golf Club. In times past it was known as Ferry-port on Craig, before the Victorian railway line arrived in the 1850s.
These communities may look towards Dundee for "big city" amenities but easily accessible Cupar and St Andrews also provide secondary school educational and shopping options.
