Description
This listed mid-terraced period house, featuring five bedrooms and open-plan living, is desirably situated in coastal Crail, boasting views towards the Bass Rock and a sizeable south-facing garden leading to the shoreline. Now requiring full renovation, this characterful property presents an outstanding opportunity to create a personalised family home with an unrivalled seaside position in one of the area's most attractive villages. This charming traditional residence in the conservation village of Crail enjoys an idyllic coastal spot with an extensive south-facing garden meandering down to the shoreline. This scenic setting also promises open sea views from the interiors, which offer ample space and versatility for families, with up to five bedrooms, multiple living areas, and a floored, useable attic. It is a 19th-century, mid-terraced property with listed status and the convenience of unrestricted on-street parking directly outside and everyday shopping within strolling distance. You enter through a vestibule and hall, which includes practical storage areas. The hall flows into the social heart of the home—a living and dining area with a flexible space for furniture arrangements that connects seamlessly with the kitchen. This light-filled yet homely room spans the width of the property, featuring double southerly-facing sliding doors that open onto the garden's seating patio—perfect for alfresco dining in the summer. In winter, there is a multi-fuel stove for added cosiness on colder evenings. Though in need of refitting, the kitchen presently offers fitted storage and a workspace. A bright and spacious living room, accessible from the hall through double glass panel doors, benefits from fitted shelving and the warmly toned feature of natural pine flooring. It serves as a quiet retreat from the open-plan living area. The home's five spacious bedrooms include one with a dressing room and another on the ground floor, allowing for additional living space, such as a study or family room. Characterful authentic details, such as cornicing, are present throughout the sleeping quarters, with the first-floor bedrooms accessed via a sky-lit landing that includes deep storage. A large, floored attic with skylight windows is a usable space that presents an exciting opportunity for internal expansion, subject to planning permissions. On the ground floor, there is a bathroom that needs modernisation. It is currently equipped with a WC suite, a bath, and an overhead shower. Without a doubt, what makes this residence truly special is its proximity to the shoreline, with the coast immediately enjoyed from the garden via a quaint picket gate - certainly one of the best positions in the village! Amongst mature planting, the south-facing garden boasts lawned areas, a seating patio, and a croft or sizeable vegetable plot. There are numerous landscaping opportunities to make this enchanting space your own. Convenient unrestricted roadside parking is directly outside the property, and the village's good selection of everyday amenities is a short stroll away Extras: The sale includes all fitted floor and window coverings and light fittings.
