The property

Ideally positioned on picturesque Forth Street in North Berwick, this double upper villa presents a truly unique and rare opportunity for those seeking a coastal haven with breath-taking panoramic views of the West Bay Beach. This charming property, although in need of refurbishment, offers the potential to be transformed into a magnificent home or property investment. As you step into the property, you'll immediately notice the rich character it exudes, boasting a wealth of period features that add to its charm. Ornate coving, elegant feature fireplaces, an original staircase, and grand bay windows adorn the interior, allowing natural light to flood every corner. Spanning across two upper floors and featuring a side ground floor entrance, this home offers both convenience and direct access to the beach via steps leading down from the pathway. The first floor comprises an impressive bay windowed sitting room, seamlessly connected to a separate family room, providing ample space for relaxation and entertainment. Towards the rear of this level, you'll find the kitchen/dining room, which, with some thoughtful design, has the potential to become a fantastic culinary space. Additionally, there is a convenient shower room on this floor. On the second floor, you'll discover three spacious double bedrooms. The principal suite, positioned to the rear, offers its own ensuite shower room. The two bedrooms to the front are graced with bay windows, allowing you enjoy the captivating views from these upper floors. The larger of these two bedrooms also includes a private dressing room. A family bathroom completes the accommodation on this floor. Externally, the property has access to a communal courtyard to the rear (north side), shared with numbers 46 and 48A. For the avoidance of doubt, the two decking areas do not form part of the title to number 48. 48 Forth Street offers a rare opportunity to create a magnificent seaside home with period charm and unparalleled views. With some refurbishment and a touch of vision, this property has the potential to become a stunning coastal retreat or a sound investment in the centre of North Berwick being only a short stroll from the High Street with its many amenities. Early viewing is recommended.
