A historic townhouse in the East Neuk of Fife with beautiful sea views has gone up for sale for nearly £1 million.

The terraced Victorian home, which is B-listed, sits on Nethergate in Crail – close to the high street.

The five-bedroom property has a long garden that leads down towards the water with incredible views.

Upon entering the home, a vestibule and hallway lead to a living room, which overlooks the water.

The room features high ceilings, cornicing, wooden flooring and a log-burning stove set into an original marble mantlepiece.

Next door is a double bedroom complete with wooden flooring, a window seat and an original feature fireplace.

A bathroom, featuring a roll-top bath, rainfall shower, WC and washbasin, sits next to the bedroom.

The kitchen provides access to the basement level of the property, where there is a farmhouse kitchen that leads out through a stable door to the garden.

There is also a WC and utility space.

Extending down from the house to a wall close to the water’s edge, the garden is lined with two manicured hedges.
