Spacious, architect-designed house with stunning panoramic views across Firth of Forth.
Westcliffe is a truly unique, architect-designed property originally constructed in 1970-71. Set within beautifully landscaped grounds, the home enjoys views across the Firth of Forth, and offers both privacy and charm.
The property is accessed via a private driveway that leads to a generous parking area and double garage. From here, a set of steps ascends to the main entrance, framed by the mature gardens that surround the house. Upon entering, the entrance hall provides access to a convenient WC and a bright and inviting sitting room. This welcoming space benefits from four large windows, built-in storage, and an abundance of natural light. To the right, the well-appointed kitchen and breakfast area feature extensive storage and integrated appliances, including a built-in fridge freezer. From here, doors open onto an expansive wraparound balcony and decking area. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate dining room that overlooks the garden.
Just off the dining room is the impressive, open-plan lounge. This stylish yet highly flexible living space which boasts a dramatic central staircase that descends to the lower level, a wall of south-facing windows offering stunning panoramic views. There are also fitted window seats, useful integrated storage, and a galleried balcony overlooking the family room below. French doors provide further access to the outdoor decked terrace, while a decorative, functioning fireplace adds an abundance of warmth and character to the room.
Midway down the staircase, on a split level, are Bedrooms 1 and 2. Bedroom 1 is spacious and enjoys stunning garden views. It includes an extensive range of built-in wardrobes and a generous en suite bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower. Bedroom 2, positioned opposite, features built-in storage and enjoys lovely east-facing views. A secondary staircase near Bedroom 2 leads back up to the sitting room, adding to the property's striking multi-level layout. At the lower ground level, there is a substantial family room with a wood burning stove. From here, French doors lead out to a south-facing patio, and additional rooms branch off from this area, including a home office and a hallway accessing the remaining bedrooms.
Bedrooms 3 and 4 are both well-proportioned, featuring built-in storage and large south-facing windows that flood the rooms with light. A spacious family bathroom with separate bath and shower serves these bedrooms. This lower hallway also provides access to a very useful utility room, three large store rooms and internal entry to the double garage.
Westcliffe’s gardens are exceptional. Sitting on approximately 1.2 acres, the house is thoughtfully built into a natural slope, allowing for a multi-level floorplan that maximises views and light. The gardens are beautifully maintained, featuring open lawns, mature trees, flower beds, a summer house, tennis court and patio.
