WINDYGATES

Windygates is a substantial B listed family home set within an elevated plot, dating from 1893. There are fine period features throughout the interior and striking exterior features such as red sandstone ashlar dressings, crow stepped gables and a pantile roof. The views from the principal rooms and north bedrooms all take in the town and Firth of Forth with Fife in the distance. The current owners have fully modernised this property throughout resulting in redesigned and elegant interiors suitable for modern living.

The substantial accommodation is arranged over three floors with the principal rooms all benefitting from garden and coastal views. Set off the main hallway are two bright and spacious reception rooms with square bay windows allowing for light filled rooms. The main hallway gives access to both reception rooms and is an impressive space with timber panelling and a fireplace with wood burning stove set below.

A secondary hallway at the rear gives access to a cosy family room which is set on the south side of the house and has French doors out to the garden. There is an adjacent guest WC. The rear quarters of the house are spacious and open plan. The newly designed kitchen is an incredible generous space with large cooks island with breakfast bar and additional space for family dining and separate access to the side of the house allowing additional access from the driveway.

The first floor has six primary bedrooms and is reached by a wide staircase lit by a south facing window. The master bedroom has a square bay window with lovely views and its own bathroom and dressing room. There are two further bedrooms which look out to sea, one of which has a linked dressing room / nursery. The first floor bedrooms share a family bathroom and separate WC.

The top floor offers great space for guests. There are three good sized bedrooms and a bathroom along with lots of useful storage space. One of the bedrooms offers a generous sitting area offering privacy for guests.

The mature gardens which surround Windygates afford privacy and are wonderful for taking in the full coastal aspect. To the front is a large driveway with a mature and well stocked garden divided by a path down through the centre, while interspersed with shrubs and colourful flower beds. At the rear is a south facing garden laid to lawn with a terrace situated off the family room.
