Description
Methven House is a characterful, traditional semi-detached house which was once the old grocer's shop of Elie and Earlsferry. Today, the house offers spacious and flexible accommodation, which embraces both the Victorian features as well as the contemporary, family-friendly, open plan, living space. The current owners have used the property as a successful holiday let business, and holiday home for their own use.
The property has two front doors off the High Street. One of the doors leads directly into what once was the old shop, but is now a large south facing drawing room with wood burner. The other front door leads into the main entrance hall. Beyond here is a sitting room which is open plan with the kitchen / dining room, and has a wood burner installed. The fantastic kitchen / dining room, with large glass doors that lead out to the beautiful rear garden. This extension was added in 2009. The kitchen is fitted with a central island with integrated freezer, Fagor five ring hob and oven, Bush dishwasher, Indesit washing machine and a fridge. Next to the kitchen is a utility kitchen with a New World oven and hob, Bosch washing machine, Hisense fridge freezer, and a second dishwasher. The additional kitchen space and appliances are a welcome and practical benefit. The ground floor accommodation is completed with a shower room and a ground floor bedroom overlooking the garden.
The first floor accommodation is accessed by the staircase in the main entrance hall. There are three south facing bedrooms, as well as the principal bedroom suite which overlooks the garden and has an en suite bathroom. There is also a family bathroom with separate shower cubicle off the landing. From the utility room, a second staircase leads up to a further bedroom which also has an en suite bathroom and views over the garden.
The private garden is a sheltered sun trap and is split on two levels. The lower level, closest to the house, is a flagstone terrace which offers a fantastic area for outdoor dining and entertaining, with large doors opening into the kitchen. Well stocked flower beds and five stone steps lead up the upper part of the garden which is a lawned area with a storage shed. The owners of Methven House have a right of access over a path which leads from the gate at the rear of the garden to the private parking area.
