Spectacular coastal home with garaging, outhouse and consent for self-contained annexe.

Description

1 James Street is a stunning coastal home, built in the late 1970s. The house is set back from James Street itself, providing it with a great deal of privacy and its own private courtyard to the front. The rear of the property has a spectacular south facing aspect over the Firth of Forth with panoramic views that take in iconic landmarks such as the Isle of May and North Berwick Law in East Lothian. The accommodation is stylishly presented throughout, with the main living space positioned to make the most of the stunning coastal views. On the ground floor there is a contemporary kitchen with integrated Siemens appliances including an oven, warming drawer, induction hob and dishwasher, and Samsung American style fridge freezer. The surfaces are granite and there is a central island. Beyond this is the conservatory which has doors leading out onto the south facing terrace. The dining room also sits off the kitchen and a set of glass double doors connects it to the conservatory. The dining room is open plan with the sitting room and has a log burning stove, as well as a large south facing window to capture the superb coastal outlook. There is also a shower room on the ground floor.

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, three of which have views over the Firth of Forth, and the fourth overlooks the rear courtyard and is currently used as a home office. Three of the four bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and there is a family shower room off the landing.

A private terrace to the rear overlooks the Firth of Forth and can be accessed from both the house and the side garden that connects to the courtyard. To the rear of the house there is a private courtyard which offers a nice sheltered spot for outdoor dining in the evening sun. Off the courtyard is a double garage, and a ground level outbuilding comprising a store room and workshop. Planning permission has been granted to convert this into a self-contained annexe with kitchen, living room, shower room and bedroom. As per the planning consent, the double garage will remain once the annexe is created.
