An outstanding end-terraced Georgian house and garden situated within 100m of Elie Beach
3 South Street is a characterful Georgian home, situated on the end of a terrace of beautiful houses on desirable South Street, in the heart of the village and within 100 metres of the beach. The house offers an exciting opportunity to upgrade the accommodation to provide modern-day living space, subject to the necessary consents. Dating back to 1810, the house is Category C Listed and retains an abundance of traditional character throughout. It also has a charming, fully walled garden to the rear, a much coveted feature for a home in central Elie.
The ground floor accommodation has a front facing dining room and snug off the entrance hall, with windows onto South Street. Both rooms have traditional presses and fireplaces. The dining room has a door leading through to the pantry which has excellent fitted storage. The kitchen sits to the rear and has a door leading out to the garden. There is also a ground floor bedroom.
An attractive staircase with original wooden banister and wrought iron balustrades curves up from the entrance hall to the first floor. The first floor sitting room is spectacular. It has a large south facing bay window with window seat with views along South Street. At the other end of the room a window overlooks the garden. In the heart of the room is a fireplace with tiled surround. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on this level. One bedroom overlooks South Street and the other the rear garden, both with working shutters. On the top floor there are two more bedrooms, one with a dormer window with views over the rooftops of Elie towards the beach and across the Firth of Forth. There are also two attic stores.
Stone steps lead up into the rear garden, which is fully enclosed by a stone wall. There is a level terrace at the top which would be a fantastic setting for a summerhouse, as well as a shed and a greenhouse.
