The property

Dating back to 1884, Rollo Villa lies nestled within the sought- after Temple area of Lower Largo and from the front of the property enjoys stunning sea views over the Firth of Forth, toward Elie point, Bass Rock, Berwick Law and, on a clear day, Inchkeith. The property forms the ground level of the villa and has served as a much-loved holiday home remaining until now within the family that built Rollo Villa. The generous and versatile accommodation, including a bay-fronted lounge, a formal dining room, a kitchen, four bedrooms and a bathroom, provides opportunities for improvements. Remedial work is required within the kitchen and bathroom, allowing potential purchasers to update these rooms to their style preferences. On opening the front door, you step into the sunroom where the sea views are best enjoyed. From here, accessed through the original main front door, is a reception hall leading to the south-facing lounge. The lounge is arranged around an open fire with a handsome period surround and features classic cornice work and a bay window with picturesque views. Next door, a formal dining room leads off to the kitchen and external side door. Two of the property's four bedrooms benefit from sea views, and any of the rooms would also be ideal as a home study. The bathroom will need immediate repair or replacement. Completing the accommodation on offer is a deep walk-in cupboard housed within the hall and providing excellent storage. Externally, the elevated south- facing garden to the front is private to the property, laid to lawn with a mix of perennials providing summer interest. A shared side path leads up to a rear outhouse and garden to the left-hand side, also belonging to the ground floor. The right-hand side rear garden is private to the upper flat. Also situated to the rear is a former railway line leading to a lozenge- shaped plot of land extending to approximately 0.47 acres. It should be noted that this land has never had planning permission sought. Extras: All fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, and integrated and freestanding kitchen appliances are included in the sale. Many items of freestanding furniture are also available by separate negotiation. EPC: F.
