About this property

  • The Granary is located on Nethergate South, a charming and popular residential street of principally terraced houses overlooking the Fife coastline. The house is fully detached, offers flexible living space, and benefits from its own private driveway providing off-street parking, as well as an integral garage. It is thought to date back to around 1850, and has been recently upgraded and fully redecorated by the current owners, with the new addition of an impressive open plan kitchen / breakfast / family room with views out to sea.

    The front door sits to the side of the house and opens up into an entrance porch from which there are lovely views over the garden and to the North Sea beyond. An inner porch offers good storage. The newly formed kitchen / breakfast / family room sits off the main hall, and also offers sea views thanks to two southeast facing bay windows. It has fitted units and AEG appliances including an induction hob, oven and dishwasher. The family area has large windows from floor level to make the most of the views. A sun room sits beyond, with a door leading out into the garden. The dining room is currently used as a children's playroom, and beyond it is a ground floor guest bedroom with en suite shower room. A corridor from the main hall leads to a utility room, WC and integral garage.

    The first floor sitting room offers the best panoramic outlook from the house over the gardens and sea, with the Isle of May acting as a picturesque backdrop. A recently installed log burning stove is set into a stone fireplace. The adjacent home office also has wonderful sea views and a range of fitted storage cupboards. There are three further bedrooms on the first floor, along with a family bathroom and a separate shower room.

    GARDENS

    To the front of the front of the house is a private driveway offering off-street parking, which leads up to the integral single garage. The current owners have installed an external Easse EV charge point for electric vehicles. A pedestrian gate and path also leads from Nethergate South to the front door, and passes to the side of the house to the main garden. A paved terrace sits at the top of the garden, with stone steps leading up to the house. This is a lovely spot for barbecues and outdoor entertaining while admiring the spectacular views. The central lawn is enclosed by fully stocked borders, with a range of mature shrubs. A second paved terrace sits lower down the garden, closer to the coastline. Beyond the gardens is the 'croft' which is a private area of grassland (paddock) that runs down to the coastline and is bordered to the north by a burn which passes through the village.
