Elie - House

Individually designed and built around 20 years ago, Homeview is a standout detached villa in Elie, set within private gated gardens with open views to the sea at the front and the 18th hole of Elie Golf Course at the rear. It’s a dream base for families, friends and dedicated golfers: you’ve got a large driveway for up to four cars, a purpose-built staircase and gate giving direct access onto the course and clubhouse, and bright, generous living spaces inside for everyone to come together. With underfloor heating, Wi-Fi and space for up to two dogs (supplement applies), it’s made for easy, relaxed breaks on the Fife coast.
The ground floor is all about sociable open-plan living. A spacious reception hall leads into a fabulous lounge/dining/kitchen area that runs from front to back, with almost full-height patio doors opening onto both the lawned front garden and the private rear patio – perfect for drifting in and out on warm days. Hardwood floors run throughout, with blinds on each door and window, and the lounge area is furnished with large sofas (new for 2025), a big coffee table and Smart TV. The dining table seats up to ten for long, chatty meals, while the well-equipped kitchen includes a gas hob, electric oven, fridge-freezer, microwave and Nespresso coffee machine (bring your favourite pods). Just off the kitchen, a separate utility room with extra units, sink, washing machine and tumble dryer leads straight to the rear garden. Also on this level you’ll find a comfortable front-facing double bedroom and a modern shower room – ideal for guests who prefer to stay closer to ground level.
Upstairs, a striking mid-level window wall floods the staircase with natural light and frames open views across the garden towards the sea. At the rear, a stunning first-floor lounge looks out over Elie Golf Course through an array of windows, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed hardwood beams and a decorative stone and marble fireplace adding to the sense of space and occasion – the perfect spot to unwind after a day on the fairways or the beach. The front of the house is home to a luxurious master suite with super king-size bed, walk-in dressing area and a generous en suite with bath, separate shower, vanity basin and WC. Three further bedrooms on this level offer flexible sleeping: a king-size double, a twin room with two singles, and an L-shaped room with a single bed plus fold-out bed chair and large TV – ideal for teens or extra guests. A smart additional shower room at the rear serves the rest of the floor.
Outside, the wraparound garden is enclosed by a drystone wall with electric gates for vehicles and pedestrian access at both front and rear. The monobloc driveway easily accommodates up to four cars, and the front garden is mainly lawn with mature trees and shrubs. At the back, a private patio off the main living space is set up with outdoor table and chairs for alfresco dining, while a separate drying area sits just off the utility and hall doors. A purpose-built, lockable golf store beside the rear staircase gives secure space for golf clubs, trolleys, bikes and beach gear, and the custom external steps with flat sides make wheeling everything straight onto the course and over to the clubhouse refreshingly simple.

Lodge Walk (No 34) is an immediately appealing contemporary townhouse in Elie, perfectly set up for larger groups who want space, comfort and an easy walk to the beach and village amenities. Sleeping up to nine guests across four bedrooms with four bathrooms, the house is arranged over three levels with a layout that works brilliantly for families and multi generational stays. On the ground floor there is a twin bedroom and a shower room, a real advantage for anyone who prefers fewer stairs or has limited mobility, while the main living spaces sit on the first floor, including a relaxed lounge with a Paris balcony, a dining sized kitchen that is ideal for shared meals, and a separate utility room to keep holiday life running smoothly. Upstairs on the second floor you will find three further bedrooms, including a master with an en suite shower room, plus a family bathroom with an overhead shower, giving everyone plenty of privacy and convenience. Tucked into a quiet pocket of Elie, the house also benefits from off street parking and an enclosed patio for fresh air and downtime, with handy side access to the rear patio for bikes, pushchairs and beach gear. With Wi Fi included, only minutes from Elie’s long sandy beach, and one dog welcome subject to a supplement, Lodge Walk (No 34) is a fantastic base for enjoying the East Neuk at your own pace.
