3 The Terrace is an attractive and characterful Georgian house set overlooking Elie beach. The Terrace is one of the most desirable addresses in Elie and Earlsferry, thanks to its houses having panoramic views of the beach and over the Firth of Forth, but also due to its close proximity to the ever popular Ship Inn and other amenities in the village. The sale of this house provides an exciting and rare opportunity to create a more contemporary living space with coastal views, subject to the necessary consents. Along with its traditional charm, the house has a private beachfront garden, direct access onto the beach, and a separate garden to the rear, with a garage from which there is access via the lane to the High Street.

The ground floor has a kitchen which overlooks the private garden to the rear. It is fitted with appliances and has a door which opens into a back porch. From here a back door leads into the garden. The family room is adjacent to the kitchen and is south-facing with fabulous coastal views which take in Elie Granary, and North Berwick Law in the distance. It is fitted with a log burning stove and has an original press, shelved alcove and good understairs cupboard with shelving. There is also a ground floor cloakroom with WC and fitted clothes hooks.

The staircase curves up from the main hallway. At a halfway landing is the bathroom. This has a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and basin. It overlooks the back garden and has a cupboard that houses the boiler and hot water tank. The first floor sitting room has spectacular views, with a window seat from which to enjoy them. There is a gas fireplace with tiled surround, and a press. A single bedroom sits off the sitting room, overlooking the garden. There is also a second single bedroom on the first floor, again with south-facing views. On the second floor there are two double bedrooms, both with dormer windows overlooking the beach. One of them has fitted cupboards.

The property benefits from two gardens. The beachfront garden with mature shrubs and flowerbeds is accessed by a gate set into the stone wall, across the street from the house. A path with stone steps leads down to the terrace, a beautiful spot from which to enjoy the views over the beach. There is an access from the terrace to a shared gate and steps that lead directly down onto the beach. The private garden to the rear is fully enclosed, with a gate leading onto a lane which connects onto the High Street. There is also a brick-built single garage with electricity, which has a door from the garden, and a garage door onto the lane.
