This tastefully modernised 19th‑century terraced villa blends period character with contemporary finishes. The two double bedrooms and two bathrooms make it a comfortable home or a low‑maintenance lock‑up for first‑time buyers or downsizers seeking village life by the Forth. The property extends to about 947 sq ft and benefits from gas central heating and fast broadband.
Set in West Wemyss Conservation Village, the house sits a short stroll from the foreshore with open estuary views toward the East Lothian coast. Interiors feel bright and welcoming: a generous lounge with a large sash window, a well‑fitted breakfasting kitchen, a modern ground‑floor bathroom and a contemporary en‑suite to bedroom one. A small rear courtyard provides private outdoor space.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, included garage parking, and a low council tax band. The home report valuation and high‑quality recent renovations reduce immediate maintenance needs. However, the property is Category B listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate planning and repairs. The surrounding area scores as very deprived, which may affect resale prospects and access to some services.
Overall, this is a characterful, move‑in ready period home for buyers prioritising village coastal life and attractive interiors over scope for major remodelling. Those who need easy planning freedom or who prioritise a high‑value postcode should note the listed‑status constraints and local socioeconomic indicators when considering a viewing.
