Bank Street, Elie, Leven, Fife, KY9

Characterful, five-bedroom home with a stunning private garden, situated in the heart of Elie.

Description

9 Bank Street is a wonderfully unassuming home, offering the appearance of a modest end-terraced house from Bank Street, but opening up into stunning and spacious living space comprising five bedrooms, and three well-presented reception rooms. The original property dates back to the early 19th Century, however it was extensively reconfigured and extended in 1998. Particular highlights of this special home include its beautiful private garden to the rear, a central courtyard for entertaining, an integral garage, and a private driveway for additional off-street parking, all of which are highly sought-after in central Elie.

The house’s three principal reception rooms are all situated off a spacious central hall. The south-facing dining room is approached through glass double doors, and has an abundance of traditional character with cornicing, a central fireplace, and a shelved alcove. The sitting room is a superb, naturally bright room with windows overlooking the rear garden and central courtyard. In the heart of the room is an electric fireplace set within an attractive mantle, and a door leads a staircase which leads up to the useful attic room above. This has the potential to be used as additional accommodation such as a home office, games room or bedroom. The L-shaped garden room is approached through glass double doors from the central hall, and the kitchen. It has a lovely outlook over the courtyard with double doors leading out. The kitchen is fitted with units and integrated appliances. It links to house’s original entrance hall with front door leading onto Bank Street. Off this hall sits the dining room, and a ground floor bedroom with en suite shower room. A staircase leads to the first floor landing, where there are three further bedrooms, all with south facing dormer windows, all with sea views, together with a family shower room. Bedroom 3 benefits from an en suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes, while Bedroom 4 has fitted storage and access to under eaves storage. A cupboard housing one of the boilers is also located off the landing.

From the sitting room, a rear corridor leads to the beautiful principal bedroom suite. This has south-facing windows overlooking the courtyard, fitted wardrobes, an en suite bathroom with both bath and shower cubicle, and dressing room. The utility room is also located off this corridor and is fitted for laundry appliances, houses one of the boilers and provides a door to the garden. A guest WC and cloak cupboard are located off the central hall, as is the integral garage/workshop, which has a door opening onto the private driveway off Bank Street and a further door leading directly into the garden.

The enclosed rear garden is a particularly special feature, being both beautifully established and exceptionally private. This is a unique feature for a home in central Elie. It is split into two sections, with the area closer to the house largely laid to lawn and surrounded by stocked borders with a paved path sweeping through it. A wooden trellis entrance leads into the second section of garden, where a summerhouse and tool shed sit at the far end. This tranquil garden area has a superb array of flowers, shrubs and trees, and is quartered into four beautifully-stocked beds with paved paths leading between them. A central courtyard accessed by the garden room provides a wonderfully sheltered area for barbecues and outdoor entertaining.
