Inside ‘fantastic’ home for sale overlooking beach named among best in Scotland
A one-of-a-kind Scottish home overlooking one of the country’s top beaches has just hit the market.
The Laigh House is a three-bedroom home situated in the heart of the charming Fife village of Elie, on its desirable South Street. It is currently available to buy for offers over £780,000.
The home offers spectacular and unobstructed views of Elie’s beach and harbour. As reported by the Daily Record, Elie Harbour was just named as one of the top beaches in the country at Scotland’s Beach Awards 2024.
Forming the ground floor and a portion of the first floor of a substantial and traditional coastal home, The Laigh House dates all the way back to the mid-1800s. It was then subdivided into two separate apartments in the early 2000s.
Looking inside, the home is centred around a gorgeous drawing room that features a large south-facing bay window with sweeping views out over the beach and across the Firth of Forth towards East Lothian. Meanwhile, the kitchen is fitted with a wealth of appliances and units.
Easily one of the property’s standouts is its glorious conservatory, from which there are views to the beach and a door leading out into the garden. A bedroom-slash-study sits behind the conservatory, with windows between the two allowing natural light to pour in.
Elsewhere, a further bedroom sits off the rear corridor that comes with its own wash hand basin. Completing the ground-floor accommodation is a utility room, a shower room, and a separate toilet.
Moving upstairs, the master bedroom can be found on the first floor. As well as idyllic views out over the beach, it includes an en-suite bathroom and a separate dressing room.
Stepping outside, the lovely garden wraps around the front and side of The Laigh House and is enclosed by a stone wall that provides privacy. It is framed around a fabulous stone terrace that looks ideal for outdoor entertaining, offering wonderful views across the beach.
Property agent Harry Maitland commented: “The Laigh House presents the exciting opportunity to upgrade a fantastic property overlooking Elie beach.”
