Harbourside apartment with development potential in the heart of St Monans.
Occupying a prime position overlooking the harbour in St Monans, 7 West Shore is a second-floor apartment within a traditional period building, characteristic of the East Neuk with its white-rendered frontage and painted sash windows.
The property offers adaptable accommodation extending to three main rooms, allowing for a variety of configurations to suit individual requirements. Although the interior requires updating, it provides a rare chance to acquire a property in such close proximity to the water and to carry out a scheme of improvement to personal specification.
In the last year, the current owners have made notable progress in preparing the property for redevelopment, engaging with both the National Trust for Scotland and Fife Council in respect of alterations to the apartment and the conversion of the outbuilding. Details of the proposals can be provided by the selling agents.
Internally, the apartment is accessed by a spiral stair which leads directly into a central hall. From here, the accommodation unfolds with a room to the front enjoying open views across the harbour, offering clear potential as a principal sitting room. This is the largest of the three rooms and retains a fireplace. The remaining two rooms sit to the rear and, with built-in storage in each, are well suited as bedrooms.
The kitchen is positioned to the front of the property, also benefiting from a harbour outlook. It is fitted with a range of units and provides space for everyday dining, while a separate pantry adds further storage. A bathroom, fitted with bath, WC and wash hand basin, completes the internal accommodation.
Externally, the property opens directly onto the quayside, an integral part of village life and a setting that gives the property its distinct character. Parking is available on-street to the front. To the rear, access is taken from West Street into a courtyard, where there is a garage and store above.
The garage building has the benefit of planning permission for conversion to a one-bedroom unit, offering flexibility for additional accommodation or potential income.
