General Description
49 John Street is a historic, award-winning three-bedroom terraced home with a spectacular rear extension. Spanning three floors, and beautifully presented, the house offers an enchanting coastal lifestyle. The lower half is thought to be 17th Century, the upper half, built in the early 19th Century. From its picturesque sandstone façade, the front door welcomes you into an elegant hallway with a view out over the garden and to the sea. It is fitted with handsome reclaimed pine flooring and has a quiet library or study alcove. To your right, past built-in hall cupboards is a charming living room. With original wooden pine flooring, cast-iron radiators, and a cast-iron stove nestled under a striking sandstone mantle it exudes a cosy and rustic ambience. Boasting a front-facing aspect it also enjoys plentiful natural light from the adjoining rear dining kitchen. With breathtaking coastal views from full-height windows, and sliding and hinged doors opening out to the rear garden, this spectacular south-east-facing living and reception space is beautifully finished. Also accessed from the hallway, this space has reclaimed iroko worktops and cupboards made from reclaimed French oak panelling. The AGA adds a sense of comfort and practicality. Combining this with the gull's wing shaped ceiling creates an interior very much in keeping with nature and the coastal surroundings of the property. The ground floor is completed by a hidden WC. Ascending original stone stairs, on the first-floor there are two light-filled double bedrooms. The larger of the two showcases an enviable balcony with uninterrupted sea views as well as bespoke built-in wardrobes. Each bedroom shares access to an indulgent bathroom equipped with a freestanding bath, hidden cistern WC, washbasin built into vanity, and a rainfall shower enclosure. On the second-floor, the principal double bedroom spanning the width of the property enjoys a wonderful dual-aspect to the front and rear. With a freestanding roll-top bath taking centre stage, a luxurious en-suite shower room complete with washbasin and a hidden cistern WC, and a useful study/dressing room space the second floor has been meticulously designed to offer a serene and relaxing retreat.
EXTERIOR
The copper clad extension is inspired by Maggie's Centre in Kirkcaldy and the ubiquitous gulls. The walled south-east-facing rear garden has stunning sea views and direct beach access. It combines a lush lawn, mature country cottage borders, a pond, a well and paving to create a truly idyllic and peaceful haven with three different seating areas. The sea wall offers a place to sit and gaze or somewhere to lean on looking out to sea.
