Set within the exclusive Elie Estate, Scottcraig House presents a refined and contemporary interpretation of modern Scottish living, beautifully grounded in its natural surroundings. Designed and built by Andrew Davie Homes and completed in 2017, the property is entirely bespoke, combining architectural clarity with exceptional craftsmanship and an emphasis on eco-efficient performance. Arranged over two floors, the house offers five generously proportioned bedrooms and six bathrooms, and a carefully considered layout that flows effortlessly between elegant living spaces and the surrounding gardens. Impressive from the moment you arrive The exterior is both striking and thoughtfully composed, blending natural sandstone with crisp render and vertical timber cladding beneath a traditional natural slate roof. Anthracite grey windows and doors provide definition, their timber sash-and-case conservation double glazing offering a subtle and respectful nod to the home’s heritage setting. Set behind private walled gardens, a sweeping gravel driveway and a triple integrated garage, the house makes a confident and composed first impression in one of the East Neuk’s most desirable locations. Welcome in, welcome to contemporary living The front door opens into a beautifully arranged L-shaped reception hall, centred around a wide oak staircase that immediately establishes a sense of scale and quality. Floor-to-ceiling windows, fitted with bespoke plantation shutters found throughout the house, draw natural light deep into the heart of the home. Quality flooring with underfloor heating provides both comfort and visual continuity, while solid oak doors and finely detailed joinery offer an immediate indication of the craftsmanship evident throughout this immaculate family home. Two deep storage cupboards are discreetly positioned within the hall. A spectacular living space that flows in all directions Glazed double doors lead from the hall into a truly exceptional reception room, defined by light, volume and architectural drama. A double-height ceiling, punctuated by skylights, floods the space with daylight, illuminating exposed timber beams and the galleried landing above. A full-height glazed wall with patio doors visually extends the room into the sun-filled garden beyond, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Textured stacked-stone feature walls provide a striking backdrop to the oversized wood-burning stove, forming a natural focal point for relaxed evenings at home. The living room enjoys a semi-open-plan layout with the kitchen and dining area, making it equally well suited to everyday family life and larger-scale entertaining. The kitchen, an entertainer’s delight At the heart of the home lies an exceptional breakfasting kitchen and dining area where contemporary design meets everyday practicality. Crafted by German manufacturer Schüller, the kitchen is both sleek and highly functional, with clean-lined cabinetry topped by durable Silestone worktops and natural soapstone finishes. A substantial central island provides a natural gathering point, offering generous preparation space alongside informal seating. The kitchen is comprehensively equipped with a Smeg range cooker featuring a five-ring induction hob, three ovens and a warming drawer, an integrated Siemens dishwasher, and dedicated housing for an American-style fridge freezer. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the adjoining dining area, where a generous bow window creates a light-filled setting for a full-sized dining table seating up to ten. Plantation shutters frame delightful garden views, while glazed patio doors open directly onto a sandstone-paved terrace. Sheltered from the wind and bathed in sunshine, this outdoor space becomes a natural extension of the kitchen and dining area, ideal for relaxed al fresco dining and summer entertaining. Discreetly positioned nearby, the utility room is designed to keep everyday tasks neatly out of sight, offering additional storage, Silestone worktops, an integrated dishwasher and bespoke cabinetry housing the washer and dryer. With direct external access, it is perfectly suited to the practical demands of modern family life. The sitting room, a flexible and private retreat Accessed from the main living space, this intimate and private reception room is currently utilised as a snug or television room. Exceptionally versatile, it can easily adapt to a range of uses. With views over the rear garden and a large wood-burning stove, it offers a calm retreat from the principal living areas, ideal for reading, relaxing by the fire, or enjoying family time in a more secluded setting. A masterful galleried landing The oak staircase rises to a beautifully light-filled galleried landing that overlooks the dramatic double-height living space below. Exposed timber beams, skylights and glazed balustrades with solid oak detailing create an architectural yet welcoming upper level. Plantation-shuttered windows draw in natural light, while the openness and connection between floors enhance the home’s refined sense of flow. From here, three distinct landing areas provide access to the four generously proportioned first-floor bedrooms. A particularly thoughtful design feature of the house is the level of privacy afforded between all five bedrooms, with four located on the first floor and the fifth forming a separate guest suite on the ground floor. The privately spaced sleeping quarters, all with en-suites The principal bedroom is a calm and beautifully proportioned retreat, finished in a soft contemporary palette. Generous in scale, it flows into a walk-in dressing room fitted with sleek, full-height bespoke wardrobes. Beyond, the en-suite bathroom is elegantly appointed with a freestanding slipper bath, separate glazed shower enclosure and refined sanitaryware, complemented by premium Hansgrohe fittings. Completing the suite is a large covered balcony with glazed balustrading and timber detailing, offering a peaceful vantage point over the garden. Bedrooms two and three are beautifully balanced mirror images, each enjoying generous proportions, excellent natural light and plantation-shuttered windows. Both benefit from walk-in wardrobes and stylish en-suite shower rooms, finished in soft neutral tiling with sleek sanitaryware and Hansgrohe fixtures throughout. Bedroom four, also positioned on the first floor, is a well-proportioned double room finished in warm neutral tones with oak detailing. It features a fitted wardrobe and a sleek en-suite shower room completed to the same high standard. Bedroom five, located on the ground floor, provides an impressive and thoughtfully designed guest suite ideal for visitors or multigenerational living. Enjoying views over the front garden, it is complemented by a large fitted wardrobe and a beautifully appointed four-piece en-suite bathroom with bath and separate shower enclosure. Rooms completing the accommodation Completing the ground floor is a stylish shower room, ideal as a guest powder room. Adjacent is a dedicated media room housing the home’s technology, heating systems and eco-efficient controls, including the water tank and boiler. A generous boot room provides internal access to the triple integrated garage and direct access to the rear garden. Well-proportioned and versatile, this space would also lend itself superbly as a home office. The sunny gardens and outbuildings The private gardens at Scottcraig House extend to approximately half an acre and have been thoughtfully landscaped to complement both the architecture of the house and family living. To the front, a neatly arranged garden enjoys gentle morning sun, with manicured lawns, structured planting and defined walkways creating an elegant sense of arrival.
