Huge Scots beach property that opens up directly onto shore with stunning views

The property market in Scotland is hot and this enormous beach home with direct access to the shore is a competitive entry.

Craigview House sits directly on the rocky coast of Anstruther and the views are, unsurprisingly, fantastic.

All that comes at a premium - house hunters will have to put in an offer over £850,000 to make this dream home theirs.

However, after multiple lockdowns, buyers on the search for a spacious home with a great work from home set-up will be pleased to find this property.

The extensive terraced home has three bedrooms, four bathrooms with a home office and gym to boot.

Remarkably, it covers a whopping 4,181 square feet (388.42 square metres) - over five times the average home size in Scotland.

For reference, Property Reporter says the average Scottish floorspace is 788.34 square feet (72.31 square metres).

You'll find Craigview House situated in a conservation area in Anstruther, a charming fishing village in Fife.

The former merchant house comes with a southeast-facing deck and balcony to take in views that can extend to the Isle of May.

Plus, the courtyard garden opens out directly onto the coast.

Internally, the home decor befits the coastal location with white-washed panelling and varnished wooden floorboards.

Other bonuses include a three-oven Aga cooker and a log-burning stove.

"Enviably located in the Cellardyke conservation area beside the coast, Craigview House is an exceptional and exclusive seaside family home that covers 4,181 square feet," reads the description of the Thornton property on Rightmove.

It continues: "The traditional, stone-built, former merchant house and shop is truly unique with a wealth of stunning features, including multiple reception rooms, bathrooms, and a high-spec kitchen, along with three double bedrooms, a home office, and a gym."

"The property further benefits from extensive views over the Firth of Forth, a southeast-facing balcony and deck, and a beautiful courtyard garden with direct access to the shore."

The description concludes: "It offers superb versatility too, allowing new buyers to utilise the house in various ways, transforming reception space into additional bedrooms if required (subject to consent)."
