We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A beautifully positioned three-bedroom coastal home with three reception areas, set in an elevated position to take full advantage of panoramic views across the Firth of Forth, Inchcolm Island and beyond.
Originally a bungalow, the property has been extended and reconfigured to create a home of real character and flexibility, set on an established and highly desirable plot.
The design centres around its exceptional outlook, with views of the Forth featuring throughout the home and forming a constant backdrop to daily living.
From the moment you step into the welcoming hallway, the property impresses with its sense of space, light and individuality.
The hall leads through to the central area, where an attractive view towards the water comes into sight, reinforcing the home’s connection to its setting.
On the ground floor, the principal living spaces offer both character and versatility.
The dining room is a particularly impressive architectural feature, with its cathedral ceiling and exposed brick fireplace creating a dramatic setting for everyday living and entertaining.
Patio doors seamlessly connect this space to an additional patio area overlooking the rear garden and taking in views of the river - ideal for indoor-outdoor living.
Beside the kitchen, a separate sitting/breakfast room enjoys views towards the Firth and can be adapted to suit a variety of needs, whether as a home office or informal family room.
The kitchen is equipped with a separate utility room. Throughout the ground floor, select rooms are finished with elegant parquet flooring, adding warmth and character.
The ground floor also includes a principal bedroom with extensive fitted wardrobes incorporating mirrored doors and en suite facilities, a further double bedroom also benefiting from fitted wardrobes, and a comfortable single bedroom.
Upstairs, the property truly comes into its own. The main sitting room is the undeniable centrepiece - a serene retreat elevated to capture panoramic coastal views.
With direct access to a private balcony, this space offers an ever-changing backdrop of sea and sky, making it ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.
A smartly finished WC on this level adds further convenience. Externally, the home continues to impress.
