St Michaels High Terrace, Anstruther KY10 3DW

Enjoying sea views, a large walled garden and ample gated parking, this historic linked-detached house in Anstruther is a character-filled home arranged over three floors. Offering considerable charm and potential, the property would now benefit from a programme of upgrading and modernisation, giving the new owner an excellent opportunity to enhance the accommodation while retaining its wealth of period character. The accommodation begins with an entrance porch and central hall, leading to a wonderfully atmospheric living room featuring exposed stonework, ceiling beams and a striking fireplace with stove. The breakfasting kitchen retains plenty of period charm and is fitted with country-inspired Shaker-style units, integrated appliances and quality worktops. From the kitchen, the accommodation flows into a bright conservatory, currently used as a dining area and snug, with direct access to the sunny patio and large walled garden beyond. The first floor houses two double bedrooms, one benefiting from an en-suite shower room, while the main bathroom is located on the ground floor. The attic space, with skylights and attractive views towards the harbour, provides useful and flexible additional space. Further benefits include gas central heating, some double glazing and generous gated off-street parking. Combining character, outdoor space and coastal views with clear scope for improvement, this distinctive home presents an appealing opportunity for buyers looking to create a property tailored to their own tastes.

Extras: All fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings and integrated kitchen appliances are included in the sale.
