The Property
Coldingham Bay, with its horseshoe-shaped shoreline, is one of the most picturesque beaches in southern Scotland. Ebbastrand is one of only a small number of homes that occupy the grassy slopes over the kilometre-long white sand beach situated at the mouth of the Buskin Burn. This detached Edwardian Villa is set far enough back from the water’s edge to provide stunning views of the dramatic coastline, yet close enough for an early morning swim or a leisurely stroll on the sand.

Inside, the main living areas are elegantly presented, with a sophisticated blend of stylish and traditional decor. The entrance porch, highlighted by beautiful original stained-glass inserts creates an inviting welcome. A spacious entrance hall, with Karndean flooring, provides access to the principal living areas, a separate WC, and the staircase leading to the first floor.

The kitchen to the left is well-appointed, boasting bespoke hand made solid English Oak cabinetry, elegant granite countertops, integrated dishwasher and a classic cream oil-fired AGA. A generous island enhances both storage and worktop space. There is ample room for a table and chairs, perfect for casual dining. The adjoining utility room and boot room offer added convenience with additional wall and floor units, shelving and is complete with plumbing for a washer and dryer.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a second reception room with fitted shelving and a storage cupboard offers versatile options, ideal as an additional living area or a dedicated home office. This inviting space is further enhanced by a recessed fireplace featuring a contemporary multi-fuel stove.

At the opposite end of the property, you'll find a stylishly furnished sitting room, featuring traditional decorative cornices and ceiling roses that frame the separate seating and dining areas. A Minster stone fireplace with green marble inlay and hearth serves as a captivating focal point. However, the true highlight of the room is the row of large south facing windows that flood the space with natural light and offer sweeping views over the immaculate front garden, picturesque bay and ocean beyond it. French doors provide access to the decked terrace veranda.

Ascending to the first floor via the original staircase, you arrive at a bright and spacious landing featuring a distinctive barrelled ceiling and a striking full-length stained-glass window. This landing provides access to four generously sized double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite facilities. The principal bedroom's en-suite boasts a roll-top bath and a double shower cubicle. The adjoining bedroom includes a bath with an overhead electric shower, and the two remaining bedrooms are equipped with modern shower rooms.

The loft space has been boarded out and features extensive insulation, enhancing its usability and energy efficiency.

Externally
The property is accessed via a gravelled driveway with sensor lighting, that provides off-road parking for several vehicles. Additionally, there is a large, detached garage with automatic doors equipped with power.

The notable highlight is the landscaped gardens that immediately surround Ebbastrand. These gardens offer total privacy and ample space for relaxation and entertaining. The main garden, facing southeast, overlooks the bay and features a concealed pond with sensor lighting, extensive hardwood decking, a circular central lawn, and gravel pathways.

On the opposite side of the lane lies an additional beach garden that extends down towards Coldingham Bay, recently named the second-best beach in Scotland by Timeout magazine (May 2024). Within the beach garden, a winding pathway passes through a sloped area with extensive decorative planting, leading to two linked decked seating areas with a custom-built summerhouse offering incredible views. A boardwalk provides direct access to the tranquil shores of Coldingham Bay.

ADT Alarm System with Control Panel and remote Smart Services App ensures security and peace of mind.
