Description
Welcome to a rarely available period property that offers the charms of Georgian architecture alongside sympathetic modern interiors, further boasting a self-contained holiday flat, a massive garden, ample private parking, and one of the finest locations in the Anstruther conservation area, set directly beside the beach and seafront.
Occupying a substantial corner plot, this beach-front house is an A-listed Georgian building that offers a highly sought-after coastal lifestyle in Anstruther. It is beautifully presented throughout and highly versatile, able to meet the demands of a wide variety of buyers and interests. With a total of three reception rooms, three bedrooms, and three shower rooms, the main house and self-contained holiday flat ensure plenty of space and practicality, with stunning sea views at every turn. A professionally landscaped and exceptionally large rear garden adds further appeal to this outstanding home.
Entrance – An unforgettable introduction
With its attractive Georgian façade and sublime coastal setting, The White House offers an unforgettable introduction. Stepping inside, a traditional vestibule sets a warm welcome, hinting at what is to come.
Reception rooms – Elegant reception rooms
Just off a beautiful and brightly lit upper hall with rear garden access, the kitchen, living and dining room is the home’s main reception area. Laid with a solid oak floor alongside elegant neutral décor, it has a pristine aesthetic and an airy ambience, which is heightened by triple-aspect windows for a flood of daily light. There is lots of space for lounge and dining furniture, as well as a charming window seat overlooking the rear garden. The finishing touch is an exquisite 18th-century timber and gesso fireplace, with highly intricate detailing, by Robert Adam. On the ground floor, there is also a comfortable sitting room for more relaxed evenings, complete with underfloor heating. It has under stair storage and the flexibility for creative use.
Kitchen – An inspired kitchen
Openly attached to the living/dining room, the kitchen boasts a Shaker-inspired design that is sophisticated and practical, sporting excellent cabinet storage and ample workspace in stone effect. Artisan-style splashbacks bring a chic dash of colour to the look, whilst integrated appliances ensure a sleek and stylish finish (five-burner gas hob, slimline extractor, double oven, fridge/freezer, and slimline dishwasher).
Bedrooms – A room with a view
The two double bedrooms both make the most of the sea views, with the tranquil backdrop ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep. Both are neutrally decorated and laid with soft carpet too. With a much larger footprint, the principal bedroom further boasts built-in storage and a contemporary en-suite shower room that enjoys traditional-inspired styling, and underfloor heating.
Bathrooms – Well-presented shower rooms
In addition to the en-suite, there is a family shower room on the ground floor. Lightly decorated, it is comprised of a storage-set washbasin, a hidden-cistern toilet, and a rainfall shower cubicle.
A self-contained holiday flat
Occupying most of the ground floor, the self-contained holiday flat can be used independently or as part of the main home. This versatility makes it great for the holiday rental market, as well as for independent family members. It is attractively presented too, providing plenty of space. It features an open-plan kitchen, living and dining room with an integrated oven and gas hob, a good-sized bedroom, and a modern shower room. A neighbouring utility room also services this annexe and the main home.
The entire property has gas central heating, alongside traditional sash-and-case windows (with working wooden shutters to some rooms).
Garden & Parking – A wealth of outdoor space
The walled gardens of The White House are equally impressive as the interiors. To the front, a generous paved area offers a wonderful vantage point for admiring coastal views and epic sunrises. A nearby ladder provides access to the sandy beach below as well. Even more enticing, the massive rear garden features sweeping lawns, mature planting, a summerhouse, a charming pond, and a balcony that captures the uninterrupted sea vista. Enjoying all-day sun, it is truly magical. Private parking is also provided thanks to a driveway and a detached garage with a store. Free parking for visitors is available on the Esplanade promontory as well.
Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings (except the light in bedroom two), and integrated kitchen appliances to be included in the sale.
