Spectacular coastal cottage on Earlsferry Beach.
One of Elie & Earlsferry's most admired properties, Beach Cottage sits in a stunning beach front location in one of Scotland's most spectacular and desirable coastal settings, with panoramic views over Elie and Earlsferry beaches, and across the Firth of Forth towards East Lothian. The original cottage was constructed in the early 19th century and was fully renovated and extended by the current owners. The extensive works carried out included a new extension to accommodate a spacious principal bedroom suite, new double glazed windows, wall lined insulation, replumbing, rewiring, and a transformation of the living space. Finishes are to the highest standard with Fired Earth flagstones in the hall and kitchen, and pearl oiled oak flooring in the living area and bedrooms. The slate roof was fully refurbished with Welsh slate and new Velux rooflights in 2022.
The property is south facing, with stunning sea views from both the kitchen breakfast bar and the living room window desk. The kitchen is fitted with a range of appliances including an electric Smeg oven, Siemens induction hob, Bosch dishwasher and freestanding Smeg fridge. The kitchen also incorporates a recessed pantry. The spacious living / dining room sits across the hall from the kitchen and has windows with views to the south and east. It has two shelved alcoves, integrated wiring for a TV above the fireplace, and a log burning stove. The principal bedroom suite is located at the rear of the cottage, with patio doors opening out onto the rear patio which offers a sunny sheltered area. It has an en suite shower room, a dressing area with plumbing for laundry appliances, and plantation shutters. There is a further double bedroom and a single bedroom room which share a family bathroom with freestanding Aston Matthews cast iron painted bath and separate walk-in shower. From the hall, a ladder gives access to the cubby loft storage space which has Velux windows offering views to Elie Beach. Additional loft spaces are accessed via a Ramsay ladder.
The beachfront terrace to the front of the house is fully enclosed by a stone wall and gate, and is a wonderful area for outdoor dining overlooking the beach. The grounds of Beach Cottage continue beyond the front terrace, onto a grassed area and down over the dunes to the beach's high-water line. The rear patio has a path to the side of the house connecting it to the front, and a large garden shed.
Beach Cottage has vehicular and pedestrian right of access from the bottom of Glovers Wynd to the front of the cottage. Whilst the current owners prefer to use the ample on-street parking on Glover's Wynd and Earlsferry High Street, there is also private parking available in front of the cottage itself.
