Property Description

Seahorses is a beautifully refurbished and deceptively spacious four-bedroom cottage, rich in character and thoughtfully upgraded to create a warm, inviting coastal home. Dating back to 1734, the property blends original period features with elegant contemporary finishes, offering generous living space arranged over two levels. The heart of the home is the impressive lounge and dining area, where a dramatic exposed stone wall, wood-burning stove, and soft natural light create an atmospheric and versatile space for relaxing and entertaining. A separate snug provides an additional cosy retreat, ideal as a reading room, TV room or quiet study.

The stunning modern kitchen, set beneath an impressive vaulted ceiling with Velux windows, features integrated appliances, a gas hob, ample storage, and sliding doors that open directly onto the enclosed rear courtyard, an ideal spot for alfresco dining or enjoying a morning coffee. The ground floor further offers a well-proportioned double bedroom. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms provide excellent natural light and attractive views over Nethergate South. One of the bedrooms benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room, and the floor is completed by a modern shower room.

Throughout the property, careful attention has been paid to comfort and finish, from the quality flooring and neutral décor to the balance of heritage charm and modern convenience. Currently operated as a successful holiday let, Seahorses presents a superb opportunity as a full-time residence, second home, or investment in one of Fife’s most desirable coastal villages.
