A dream seaside escape

A perfect holiday home tucked away in the beautiful village of Elie catches the eye, as Helen Brown saw

Rarely available in the heart of this highly sought-after East Neuk location, this is a uniquely modern, architecturally designed stable conversion, all on street level, with private grounds and off-street parking.

The property at 4a Bank Street has been imaginatively converted to create a fantastic, one-bedroom seaside home, with modern style and sensitive use of the existing building, ideal as a holiday home or rental investment and only a stone’s throw from Elie beach and slipway.

Within a private and spacious southfacing courtyard are flower beds and a decked patio area, behind which sit the former stables.

You enter through the large double glazed door into a reception area, from which you can access either the openplan public space which comprises cooking, dining and lounge facilities or a large wet room.

The open plan living area comprises a lounge area with sofa bed, central dining area and galley-style kitchen benefiting from high ceilings and a large Velux roof window.

Accessible from the lounge is a bright double bedroom, with space for free standing bedroom furniture.

The roof is lit from above by a large Velux window, plus a floor-to-ceiling double glazed window which opens on to the courtyard space.

This cosy home benefits from excellent high insulation levels all round, energy-efficient electric central heating and double glazing.
