About this property

  • Thanks to its superb beachfront position, Seabeach sits 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 house is thought to date back to the early 1900s and has a beautiful private and fully walled garden to the front with ample off-street parking beyond. The special grounds of Seabeach continue beyond the front garden, over the dunes to the beach's high water line.

    The family room is a characterful and open-plan living space with steps leading up into the kitchen. It has two south-facing windows framing views over the garden and the Firth of Forth beyond, a log burner and fitted bookshelves. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units, along with integrated appliances. Beyond is the dining conservatory which was added in about 1997 and overlooks the private courtyard to the rear. There is a shower room and a utility room which is plumbed for washing appliances, houses the boiler, and has built in cupboards, coat hooks, a back door out to the courtyard.

    The outlook from the first floor sitting room is truly magnificent. The views of Earlsferry beach and across the Firth of Forth are breathtaking and can be enjoyed from the large bay window with its built-in window seat. The principal bedroom also benefits from sea views and has fitted wardrobes as well as an en suite bathroom with separate shower cubicle. This has a separate door onto the landing to allow use by the other bedroom on this floor. Three further bedrooms sit on the second floor. Two of these enjoy stunning elevated views of the beach. The rear-facing bedroom has a fitted wardrobe and access to the under-eaves store room which houses the hot water tank. These three bedrooms share the use of a family bathroom on this level.

    The front garden at Seabeach is fully enclosed by stone walls on all sides. A gate leads out onto the dunes where there is private parking for at least three cars, with the beach beyond. The garden is laid to lawn and flanked by stocked borders with an excellent variety of mature shrubs and plants. At the top of the garden to the front of the house is a paved terrace, and at the foot of the garden is a second terrace and summerhouse. To the rear of the house is an enclosed courtyard providing a useful area for bin storage, with access through a gate onto Cadger's Wynd and a back door into the utility room.
