Positioned right on the cliff's edge, (although you will have to venture outside to capture the best views - you won't want to miss out on them), this former fishing abode is a mere 30 meters from the beach access steps, with an array of clifftop pathways at your doorstep. Inside, the accommodation is conveniently laid out on a single level, with the highlight being the impressive open-plan living area and kitchen. The space boasts a semi-vaulted ceiling reaching full roof height, adorned with exposed beams and two expansive VELUX windows, ensuring ample natural light even on overcast days. A freestanding wood-burning stove adds warmth and ambiance, while a generously sized dining table beneath one of the roof windows offers a delightful setting for meals. For entertainment, a high-end Samsung Frame TV adorns the wall. The cottage features two bedrooms - one double and one twin - both offering partial sea views over neighboring rooftops. The shower room is equipped with a walk-in enclosure featuring a rainfall shower head, ideal for rinsing off after beach adventures, with underfloor heating providing comfort during colder months. Auchmithie is a haven for both humans and dogs alike, and Clifftop Cottage welcomes furry friends, providing dog bowls for their convenience. While the cottage doesn't have its own garden, a shared courtyard with neighboring properties offers a pleasant outdoor space. Nearby, public benches and a picnic table provide ideal spots to enjoy coffee or soak up the sun. Following a thorough renovation, Clifftop Cottage now presents a blend of traditional charm with modern comforts.

Needs a wee bit of money spent on it though Front door had a large weed to the right of the door and key box needs replaced or repainted. Some windows had blinds and shutters were badly fitted with no handles. Living room/kitchen needed a few pictures and a fancy splash back at cooker.Bathroom needs toilet pan secured to the floor better and a mirror. Bedrooms need clothes hangers A small breakfast pack and maybe a bowl of fruit and a few bottles of water, would add a wee bit extra to the whole experience. I have to remember that the cottage does hold 4 people, but feel that they could easily achieve much more with a few pounds spent ##### George M.
