A spectacular coastal property occupying a stunning cliff top position which offers breath-taking views over the Firth of Forth, has hit the market east of North Berwick.

The immaculate six-bedroom property will cost a handsome fee with agents Rettie & Co listening to offers over £1,450,000.

The Bass Rock can be seen in great detail from the windows inside the house, that’s interior almost matches the beauty of its picturesque surroundings.

A stunning kitchen area makes use of the scenery with several wide windows which provide a perfect view of the sea which can be enjoyed while eating meals.

The kitchen itself is modern and well furbished with a large island for families to gather round and enjoy the view over a meal.

A dining room area is also situated next to windows looking out over the scenery.

The living room area is large, complete with a fireplace which offers a bright and welcoming area to relax.

A games room is included with space for a pool table and fireplace while also offering several more windows to, again, enjoy that spectacular view.
