Situation The idyllic town of Elie & Earlsferry is nestled against scenic shoreline of the East Neuk of Fife. A historic seaside settlement, it has earned enduring popularity as a holiday destination due to its combination of exceptional coastal scenery and excellent amenities, and is set around a glorious sandy beach which stretches for circa one mile. Prospect Cottage is located off Ferry Road; a residential cul-de-sac which is situated within easywalking distance of all of the town s services and facilities and benefits from direct access onto the dunes at the foot of the street. Renowned for its clutch of well-established leisure attractions, Elie has a Harbour, offering a host of water sports and sailing opportunities, a Sports Club developed with a 9-Hole golf course, a driving range, tennis courts and The Pavilion Café, as well as a highly-regarded Golf Club. Its charming High Street is also populated with an eclectic selection of independent retailers such as a Delicatessen, Coffee Shop, Bakery and Newsagent, and there are a collection of renowned local restaurants and Pubs, including The Ship Inn and The 19th Hole. The population of residents are served by a Primary School and there is secondary schooling available at Waid Academy in nearby Anstruther as well as co-educational private schooling at St Leonards in St Andrews. The wider East Neuk coastline is littered with picturesque villages and towns, each with its own individual character and charm, including St Monan s, Anstruther, Pittenweem and Crail. Predominantly former fishing villages, the communities and services have been buoyed by the area s prosperous tourist economy and offer additional shops, hotels and restaurants; notably the award-winning Anstruther Fish Bar and The Cellar, which has been awarded a Michelin Star. There is also a strong Arts tradition within the East Neuk, with a high concentration of independent galleries and workshops, many of which participate in a biennial Open Art Trail. This culminates in a number of annual Festivals in the summer months; a highly acclaimed regional celebration of music, literature and visual arts, which includes the Anstruther Harbour Festival and the Pittenweem Arts Festival.

4 Slightly further afield, St Andrews, the notable University town, is remarkably well serviced with high end retailers, restaurants and hotels and a wide range of leisure activities including a cinema. Famed worldwide as the Home of Golf, the St Andrews Links Trust alone maintains seven courses, with additional well-regarded local courses in the surrounding area including Lundin Links, Crail, Kingsbarns, Leven and Anstruther. Edinburgh is approximately 45 miles from Elie by road and there is a bus service through the town. There are frequent train services from nearby train stations such as Kirkcaldy, Markinch and Leuchars. General Description Prospect Cottage is a charismatic, stone-built property, which has been thoughtfully renovated to afford a most comfortable, contemporary lifestyle, in an idyllic coastal setting. Internally, the well-proportioned accommodation has a timeless appeal; with delightful period features, complimented by tasteful fabrics and finishes, including Oak flooring, down-lighting and quality Bathroom and Kitchen fixtures. From the residential street, the traditional façade of the property is set beyond a low-wall and neat, paved frontage. The front door is flanked by two tall windows and a pair of charismatic dormers protrude from the slate roof above. Beyond the threshold, the Hall provides an inviting formal entrance and features a coat rack, Oak flooring and handsome timber staircase. In recent years, the Ground Floor of the house has been re-configured to meet with modern lifestyle trends and now features a sublime, open-plan Kitchen and reception room. Accessed off the Hall, the room affords sociable and relaxed family living, with ample room for both a formal dining table and lounge furniture. The spacious, free-flowing dynamic is equally well-suited for entertaining larger parties, when occasion demands, and there are a pair of French Doors, which invite out to the flagstone patio terrace. The Kitchen itself is of bespoke, Harvey Jones design and features classic, country-style wall-and-floor units accented by lavish, dappled-granite surfaces, and appointed with a high specification of NEFF integrated appliances including a dishwasher, a four ring gas hob, two ovens and a warming drawer. The character of the Kitchen is enhanced by a charming bench seat, set beneath a tall window to the East complete with timber shutters, and a traditional wood-burning stove, which fosters a welcoming, heritage atmosphere and provides a natural focal point to the lounge space. A door leads off the Kitchen into a large Utility Room, which is ideal for the rigmarole of coastal living; functioning as an internal passageway from the front of the property to rear garden, with exterior doors at either end. It is practically fitted with additional units, an Indesit washing machine, a Bosch tumble-dryer, larder shelving and a sink with mixer tap. The room also houses a Maytag Fridge/Freezer and the Worcester Boiler. On the Ground Floor, there are two, comfortable Double Bedrooms, both of which are governed by generous period proportions and feature simple cornicing and a tall sash and case window. There is also a Shower Room appointed with a contemporary wash hand basin, a WC, a heated towel rail and a large cubicle, complete with both deluge and wall-mounted showerheads. A deep cupboard beneath the stairs completes the accommodation on this level and affords excellent storage. On the First Floor the staircase rises to a bright, dual-aspect Sitting Room which showcases dormer windows to the West and the East; the latter offering glimpses of the coastline. A door leads into the Master Bedroom, which is appointed with a range of fitted wardrobes and an en-suite, which has a Bath, with Mira Excel Shower overhead, a WC and a wash hand basin set atop a vanity cabinet. The bedroom itself benefits from another dormer window with a view over the front of the property and far-reaching vantages to the distant coastal scenery.

5 Prospect Cottage is accompanied by a charming, enclosed garden to the rear. A sheltered sun-trap, the garden comprises of a neat lawn, margined by colourful and well-stocked borders, and a flagstone terrace, which stretches across the length of the house and provides the ideal spot to indulge in alfresco living, in warmer weather.
