Set on Elie’s historic High Street facing the Toll Green, this Category C listed lower conversion blends traditional character with fresh, modern comfort. Recently remodelled and renovated, the three bedroom home offers smart, easy going living space that is almost entirely on one level, making it a great option for guests with limited mobility or those who simply prefer fewer stairs. To the rear, a private, mature garden gives you a peaceful spot for morning coffee, alfresco dinners or lazy afternoons in the East Neuk air.
Inside, guests can relax with WiFi and a great choice of entertainment, including Sky Sports through Now TV, Netflix and Amazon Prime, along with a range of TV channels available through apps such as BBC iPlayer and ITV. Step outside and you are moments from Elie’s much loved local shops, including the deli, newsagent, bakery and pharmacy, with the long sandy beach, Elie Water Sports and the famous Ship Inn just a short walk away. Unrestricted on street parking keeps arrivals simple, while pet friendly stays mean everyone can feel at home, four legged family members included.
