The property

Offering exceptionally spacious and flexible accommodation over three floors, with a wealth of period charm, this handsome, traditional two and a half storey house forming a quarter part of a block of four similar houses in exclusive St Andrews boasts five bedrooms, three reception rooms, a kitchen, and two bathrooms, plus front and rear gardens and unrestricted on-street parking. Set on a leafy street in exclusive St Andrews, this traditional, five-bedroom, two-bathroom house represents a fantastic family home, with generous living space and front and rear gardens. The home is filled with wonderful period details and also offers potential for modernisation, allowing the new owner to put their own stamp on it. It lies close to all the town has to offer, including shops, schools, the university, transport links, golfing, and the beach. The home is screened from the road by neat hedges and you walk through a neat garden to the front door, where a practical entrance vestibule (with traditional floor tiles) welcomes you inside and leads through to a hall with a built-in store. The wonderfully bright and spacious living room is fronted by a bay window and offers a generous and flexible footprint for a variety of lounge furniture layouts. It features an elegant fireplace around which furniture can be arranged, flanked by an open Edinburgh press with fitted shelving, whilst further character is added to the space by detailed cornicing and a picture rail. The dining room also occupies a spacious footprint and could comfortably accommodate a large table and chairs to suit the new owner's requirements, ideal for formal dining and dinner parties. The room also includes a handsome fireplace flanked by fitted shelving at either side, and features cornicing and a picture rail. The family room offers various options for use, including a more informal lounge, a casual dining area, or a children's play room. It is accompanied by built-in storage and affords access to a rear vestibule with a WC and a door to the courtyard/path to the rear garden. The kitchen is currently fitted in a galley-style formation with classically styled, cream-coloured wall and base cabinets, ample workspace, and handy display/storage shelving to one wall. Provision is made for a selection of freestanding and undercounter appliances, all of which are included in the sale. The property's five bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors, all approached via a grand staircase and landings lit by a large skylight. The principal bedroom echoes the living room in terms of proportions and period charm, and also has a bay window. Ample floorspace is available for a choice of freestanding bedroom furniture, with beautifully detailed cornicing and a picture rail adding character to the space. Of the remaining bedrooms, some have charming fireplace surrounds, and all offer plenty of space for both bedroom and home office setups, if desired. The family bathroom and separate shower room can both be found on the first floor. The former includes a bathtub and a WC-suite, whilst the latter offers a large shower enclosure and a basin set into storage. The home is kept warm by a gas central heating system. Externally, the home is accompanied by neat front and rear gardens, both featuring well-maintained lawns and neat hedges, with the rear further boasting an enviably sunny southeast-facing aspect. Unrestricted on-street parking is available. Extras: all fitted floor coverings, window coverings, light fittings, and kitchen appliances will be included in the sale.
