Beautiful modernised 16th Century house with many original features including exposed beams and an old ship's mast within the staircase. Superbly located just a few feet from the sandy beach in this charming Scottish fishing village of Anstruther.  Most windows in the property enjoy fabulous views over Anstruther Harbour and the Forth estuary, Bass Rock and North Berwick Law.  It is very conveniently located for all local amenities including a wide range of shops, pubs and restaurants.  The Cellar is an excellent seafood restaurant and the world famous Anstruther Fish Bar was a must for Tom Hanks!!!
Skipper's Rest dates back to 1650 and is stepped in history.  It was the well known Skipper James Small's residence whose grandson John Ballantyne, born in this house, went on later to join the Royal Navy and served with distinction in the French war at the capture of Port Rico in 1797.  More recently the author Isla Dewar lived here while writing novels such as "Women Talking Dirty" which was later made into a film, set in Edinburgh, starring Helena Bonham-Carter.
