West Sands, North Queensferry, Inverkeithing, KY11

Contemporary home with stunning uninterrupted views of the Firth of Forth

Description

Offering spacious and contemporary accommodation, Spindrift was built in 1910 as a traditional bungalow and was later re-modelled to add the first floor bedrooms and bathroom. The open plan design of the ground floor allows a seamless flow of the living space, offering cosy relaxation spaces as well as a light and airy dining area and well planned kitchen with breakfast area.

The property is entered through the front porch which leads into the welcoming dining/ sitting room. Here the dining area is set amongst the bay window with water views and built in seating. Off here is the snug family room to the rear which is adjacent to the stairs leading to the first floor, as well as to a ground floor shower room.

To the left of the main space is the full length kitchen with breakfast area. The stylish kitchen features base and wall units with integrated appliances including a dishwasher and Rangemaster Professional with large induction hob and double oven. The kitchen worktop extends into an L shaped peninsula to provide a convenient breakfast bar. There is ample space for a breakfast table on the other side of the room where the windows frame views over the water looking out towards the Queensferry Crossing. A side door leads out to the utility room which provides further counter space for oversized appliances and space for white goods. There is a side door providing access to the rear of the property.

The staircase leads up to the first floor accommodation where there are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. All four bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes. Two of the bedrooms face out towards the water, enjoying spectacular views, whilst the other two bedrooms face the rear where the outlook features the iconic Forth Rail Bridge.

Outside, the access lane leading to the front door is tarmacked and is suitable for parking. The garden space has been cleverly designed into three areas: an outside kitchen; an alfresco dining area; and a sheltered relaxing area with seating. There is an additional rear patio for further seating/ dining. A large garden shed is also housed here.
