Property Description

The Creel is a beautifully presented two-bedroom detached bungalow, tucked away within a peaceful cul-de-sac in the heart of Elie. Just moments from the village's renowned sandy beach, harbour and High Street amenities, this charming coastal home offers an exceptional opportunity as a permanent residence, holiday home or investment property.

A central hallway provides access to all principal rooms, with the spacious lounge enjoying excellent natural light and ample space for both relaxing and entertaining. The adjoining dining area and contemporary fitted kitchen create a sociable heart to the home, with quality cabinetry, excellent storage and direct access to the garden.

Both bedrooms are generously proportioned doubles, each benefiting from fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage. A well-appointed bathroom, separate WC and utility room further enhance the functionality of the home, making it equally well suited to permanent residence, a holiday retreat, or a rental investment.

Externally, the fully enclosed south-facing rear garden is a particular highlight, enjoying a private and sheltered setting and benefiting from a wonderfully sunny aspect, making it a true suntrap.
