Delightful cottage in spectacular position overlooking Elie Beach with private terrace and garage
Description
8 The Toft is a charming, traditional mid-terraced cottage in one of the most enviable coastal addresses in Scotland. The property sits overlooking Elie beach, with spectacular, panoramic views across Elie bay, towards the harbour including Elie Granary, and beyond across the Firth of Forth.
A rarely available, private terrace sits across the road from the cottage, directly overlooking the beach. Adjacent to the terrace is a single garage / store. This was once a fishermen’s hut for the hanging of nets, and may offer the potential for conversion to a beachfront summerhouse, subject to the necessary consents.
The front door to the house opens into the open plan kitchen / dining / sitting room. This stunning room has three beach-facing windows providing outstanding views across the bay. The kitchen area is fitted with units and a range of kitchen appliances. Plenty of character comes from features such as solid wood flooring, a shelved alcove and a log burner. There is a generous cupboard under the stairs, and an adjacent shower room with skylight overhead. The two double bedrooms on the first floor have breathtaking views over Elie Beach and across the Firth of Forth. Both are fitted with wash hand basins, and one has a fitted wardrobe.
A hatch and Ramsay ladder provide access to the attic room above. This has exposed ceiling beams and a Velux window with beach views.
Location
The Toft is one of coastal Fife’s most spectacular addresses. Situated in a prime position overlooking Elie Beach, the properties on The Toft benefit from panoramic views and easy access to the village’s amenities, most notably The Ship Inn.
With one of Scotland’s finest sandy beaches, Elie is well known for its water sports, including sailing, paddle-boarding and windsurfing, all of which take place in the sheltered bay, while on land there are two golf courses, one the acclaimed 18-hole course and a short 9-hole course suitable for beginners. Several hard tennis courts and a bowling green are also available within the village. Elie Sports Club offers group and individual coaching in golf and tennis during school holidays. Elie is well served by pubs and cafés which include the renowned Ship Inn. Elie is in the East Neuk of Fife, famed for its picturesque fishing villages and unspoilt beaches. St Andrews, the home of golf and the setting for one of Britain’s oldest universities, is only 13 miles away. There are traditional links golf courses at nearby Crail, Leven and Lundin Links and new courses at Kingsbarns and St Andrews Bay. Edinburgh is around 45 miles away accessed by road, or from the nearest train station at Leuchars which is 16 miles to the north of Elie. The proposed Levenmouth rail link at Leven is due to open in 2024.
All distances are approximate.
