A rare chance to acquire a substantial and highly adaptable five-bedroom seaside home, an impressive c-listed detached Victorian villa (circa 1850s). Enjoying an outstanding coastal setting with far-reaching views across the Firth of Forth towards the Edinburgh skyline. Set over three levels, the property combines classic period architecture with generous, flexible accommodation suited to modern family living. The ground floor is entered via a welcoming clockroom, opening onto the reception hall, which provides access throughout the ground-floor accommodation, along with a convenient WC and staircase to the upper level. To the rear, the impressive living room is beautifully positioned to take full advantage of the coastal outlook, with a striking bay window framing the views. This elegant space is further enhanced by ornate cornicing and a characterful fireplace with a stone surround and provision for a stove. To the front, a versatile music room offers flexibility as a sitting room, family room, or a formal dining space, depending on requirements. The kitchen enjoys a bright triple-aspect orientation, allowing for an abundance of natural light, and is fitted with a range of traditional units and appliances, including a 5-ring electric hob, an eye-level oven, a dishwasher, and a fridge/freezer, with a washing machine housed in the basement.

A charming staircase rises to the upper landing, where two particularly spacious double bedrooms are positioned on opposite sides of the property, both benefiting from built-in storage. A further dual-aspect room offers versatility as a playroom, study, or an additional bedroom and leads through to bedroom three.
