Roome Bay Crescent, Crail, Anstruther, KY10

Enjoying stunning coastal views in the sought-after village of Crail, this spacious six-bedroom attached Edwardian home spans three floors. It has been extended twice and features three shower rooms, a bathroom, a guest WC, a study, and three reception rooms – two of which open into the kitchen (one with access to the garden) and another, south-facing. An upper balcony provides an ideal spot to admire the breath taking scenery, which can also be enjoyed from the living room, principal suite, and three further bedrooms. The large, enclosed grounds boast beautiful, mature gardens, and there is a detached garage for private parking.

This impressive residence occupies a coveted seafront position in the charming village of Crail, known as “The Jewel of the East Neuk”, with unrivalled views towards the Isle of May. A wonderfully characterful and extended home, it blends Edwardian elegance with sympathetic modernisation and functionality for modern family living, or potentially as a hospitality business, subject to consents. The beautifully maintained, enclosed gardens extend significantly to the rear and face south towards the sea at the front, while the private garage provides added convenience.

A grand arched entrance opens into a light-filled reception hall that showcases the home’s period proportions and charm. An open fire with a handsome period surround is an inviting focal point. A WC cloakroom and a store are accessible from here.

The living room, with its south-facing bay window and open fire, enjoys calming coastal views. In addition to the attractively tiled fire surround, the space is further refined by soft-toned décor, cosy carpeting, original cornicing, and a picture rail.

To the rear, two further reception rooms offer flexibility, situated within a recent extension that benefits from plentiful natural light via numerous rooflights. The garden room with French doors to the outside, the formal dining room, and the kitchen are all interconnected, creating a convivial layout for daily living and entertaining.

The kitchen strikes a balance between modern convenience and classic country charm, featuring natural wood cabinetry, generous downlit worktops, and a striking blue AGA.

Appliances include an under-counter dishwasher and an integrated fridge. A utility room with rear garden access houses a freestanding washing machine, a tall fridge, and a chest freezer.

Secluded and conveniently located on the ground floor, within a skylit side extension enjoying south-facing sea views, the principal suite boasts generous bedroom space, allowing for a comfortable sitting area. Also featuring built-in storage and a bright wet room, the suite is equally suitable for guests or live-in relatives.

Across two upper floors are five spacious double bedrooms (three with washbasins) and a bright study with storage and a peaceful position in the home, ideal for remote working. Three of the double bedrooms enjoy sea views, with one opening onto the balcony, and two benefit from built-in storage.

Alongside the principal suite’s wet room and the entrance hall WC, there is a ground-floor bathroom and a shower room on each upper floor. All are light-filled and fitted with modern fixtures. The bathroom features a classical four-piece suite, including a sumptuous claw-foot bath and bidet.

To the front, a south-facing, established garden, with colourful flower beds and a central gated path, enhances kerb appeal. The sizeable enclosed rear garden features mature greenery, a shaped lawn, a gravelled terrace, and a secluded seating area.

A private, detached single garage is located along a rear lane, with gated access from the garden, and additional unrestricted street parking is available.

Extras: The sale includes all fitted floor coverings, window coverings, light fittings, and integrated/freestanding appliances.
