The property sits a short walk from The Ship Inn (less than 200 metres) and Elie Beach. It benefits from lovely outlooks over the neighbouring farmland and beyond towards the Firth of Forth with the Isle of May and Bass Rock acting as a backdrop.

There is a fireplace with fitted electric fire and decorative mantel.
