About this property
Upper Rocklands | Elie
Beautifully Remodelled Victorian Beachfront Conversion Right on the Sand, with Uninterrupted Sea Views | Sleeps 6
Upper Rocklands is a beautifully remodelled upper conversion of a Victorian beachfront house, completed in 2021 and set right on the sand with uninterrupted views of the sea and dunes. With all rooms on the first floor and an internal staircase from the private ground-floor entrance, it feels like a peaceful coastal retreat in the treetops, while still giving you direct access to the beach via a private path.
With private parking for one car and WiFi throughout, and sleeping up to 6 guests across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, it's ideal for couples, families or friends looking for a relaxing East Neuk escape.
The Space
Inside, across 145 m², the reception hall leads through to a fabulous traditional lounge where a bay window frames those showstopping beach and sea views. A new log burner set into the original fireplace, comfortable sofa, armchairs, inbuilt window seat, Smart TV and soft lighting make this a cosy, characterful place to unwind after a day on the shore or exploring nearby villages.
The newly repositioned kitchen/dining area also sits to the front to maximise the outlook, with a luxury fully fitted kitchen, central island and a dining table for six — perfect for lazy breakfasts or long evening meals with the tide as your backdrop.
