About this property

  • 15 West Harbour Road is a detached family house, originally built in the 1970s. The house offers fully modernised living space with an integral garage, as well as fantastic entertaining spaces both inside the house and on the superb terrace overlooking the Firth of Forth.

    The principal living space is situated on the ground floor, with most of the rooms enjoying the outstanding south facing views. The kitchen is open plan with the conservatory and has doors out into the garden. The kitchen fittings are by Magnet, and include fitted cabinets and counters incorporating a breakfast bar, while among the appliances are a Smeg range cooker with gas hob, Zanussi electric oven and Zanussi microwave. In the heart of the house is the dining hall which again has stunning coastal views, and opens up into the adjacent sitting room. A large single pane window overlooks the garden with the Firth of Forth beyond. Off the sitting room is a bedroom with doors leading out into the garden, and an en suite shower room. There is also a study and shower room on the ground floor. The staircase leads up from the dining hall. Situated off the landing are three bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a home office) and a family bathroom.

    The principal garden at 15 West Harbour Road is south facing overlooking the Firth of Forth. The upper level is lawned, but steps lead down to a spectacular coastal flagstone terrace with unobstructed views. This has an installed hot hub (available by separate negotiation) and a dedicated barbecue and outdoor entertaining area. To the front of the house there is a second, recently landscaped, lawned garden overlooked by a raised terrace. There is also a generous parking area, off which the integral garage can be accessed. This has a utility room which also houses the hot water tank.
