Description

Originally a quarriers’ cottage dating form 1890, 2 Forthside Terrace was fully renovated, and impressively extended in 2020. This included, a full upgrade of the wiring and plumbing, an extensive overhaul of the roof and new double glazing throughout. Now extending to over 1,490 sq ft, this stunning house is fully insulated and offers spacious, contemporary, and open plan living space. The property has characteristics which make it very accessible, and therefore ideal for use as both a permanent home or a holiday home. The property has operated successfully as a licensed short term let from 2022.

Set on a peaceful no through road and tucked just behind the headland for shelter, the house enjoys dramatic, uninterrupted views across the Firth of Forth. The Fife Coastal Path and shoreline lie just beyond the garden, where the Port Edgar yacht club and occasional regattas can be enjoyed from the garden, the sitting room, and the upper bedrooms.

The interior is contemporary and light filled and has been finished to an excellent standard. Aluminium windows frame the garden side of the house, with timber windows to the front. The front door opens into a hallway with practical storage, including an understairs cupboard and a separate boiler cupboard. To one side is a modern shower room and to the other, a bright ground floor bedroom (four). Straight ahead, the house opens into a superb kitchen/dining space, with ample space for a family-sized dining table. The open-plan layout connects to the sitting room, where a wall of glazed Bifold doors open to the garden and frame the sea view.

The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances including, electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. There are durable Silestone worktops and the flooring is York flagstone.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, all with built in storage and electric Velux blinds. Bedrooms one and two, enjoy outlooks across the garden to the Firth of Forth, and bedroom three sits above bedroom four at the front of the house A generous family bathroom serves this level and has both a bath and separate shower. The first floor is fitted with engineered wood flooring by Woodpecker.

The garden has been designed to make the most of the lovely views and evening sun, and is fully enclosed by fencing for privacy. A substantial patio sits closest to the house, with a stepping stone path leading on to a lawn at the far end of the garden.
