Family Home by the Beach

Our home is located in the beautiful coastal village of Elie and Earlsferry and has been fully renovated over the last 5 years.

The house has a large dining kitchen, with a snug area and doors onto the roof top balcony, with stunning views over Elie beach and over to Elie Ness lighthouse and the Bass Rock. There are two double bedrooms (one with a king size bed and one with a double bed) and a small single (childs) bedroom. Downstairs there is another living area, with a woodburner and sofas to sit and relax or watch TV. Off this living area is the small enclosed sheltered garden which is a real suntrap. The house also has two shower rooms. There is free on street parking available.

The house is a 1 minute walk to the beach, a 5 minute walk to the nearest pub and a 10 minute walk to the centre of the village.

The impressive coastal path, wonderful in all seasons, stretches for miles in both directions, with the added challenge of the local “chain walk” on the cliffs above the waves.
