Ashtead, 89 Hepburn Gardens, St Andrews, KY16 9LT

The property

The subjects (circa 1926) comprise a detached home of distinction affording sympathetically restored and beautifully maintained accommodation on two levels. The accommodation has been divided to create two living areas with the principal home being the main house and a further fully self-contained apartment. The accommodation within the main house lies within the central/westmost part of the original house. The accommodation comprises: entrance porch, vestibule, hall, utility room, breakfasting dining kitchen, most impressive drawing room and dining room. On the upper level there are four bedrooms (with master ensuite and dressing room), linen room, family bathroom, shower room and separate WC. The apartment provides accommodation on two levels and is accessed via the eastmost entrance comprising: living room/kitchen, shower room, wonderfully impressive hallway with original period oak turn stair and two bedrooms both with ensuite facilities. The subjects retain some fine original period features with the drawing room featuring an oak sprung floor with impressive open stone fireplace and double French doors opening out to the sun porch, leading out to the garden. The dining room provides ample room for formal dining and has a bay window lying to the front. The dining kitchen lies to the rear and is exceptionally well equipped with fitted wall and floor storage units with central island pedestal and breakfast bar feature. This area also provides room for more casual dining/family area and leads with French doors to the westmost garden. Situated off the kitchen area there is an internal hall leading to a utility room and large internal store with French doors leading to outside. A turn stair leads to the upper level with four bedrooms (three lying to the front, all with large fitted wardrobes and master with bay window to front. A further double bedroom lies to the rear). The master suite benefits from large dressing facilities and a sizeable ensuite with bath and shower located off. There is also a shower room with two piece traditional suite and separate shower cabinet and further large family bathroom with three piece suite and large walk in shower cabinet. In addition, there is a large walk-in linen cupboard and further WC. We are advised that the main house extends to around 264 sqm or thereby. Fully adaptable self-contained apartment?on both the ground and first floors. Access?is via double solid wood doors leading to a wonderfully impressive lower hallway with original oak moulded panelling and fine stairwell leading to the upper level. On the ground floor there is a living/kitchen area with bay window to front. The kitchen is well equipped with modern fitted wall and floor units with integral appliances included. The shower room lies?off the lower hallway with three piece suite and lower large shower cabinet with mixer shower. The wonderful turn stair leads to the upper apartments with two bedrooms (master to front with large bay window and large fitted wardrobe with ensuite facilities for both with two piece traditional suite and shower cabinet). We are advised the gross internal floor area of the apartment extends to around 112 sqm or thereby. Access to the property is via large sweeping tarmacadam drive leading to a sizeable turning area and hardstanding to the rear. There is a double garage with concrete floor, floored loft access via a retractable loft ladder and two up and over electric doors. The garden grounds mainly lie to the front and have been beautifully landscaped and well stocked with mature trees, shrubberies and an attractive shaped lawn. The west garden has been designed for ease of maintenance and enjoys the afternoon and evening sun. Gas fired central heating is installed backed up by bespoke replacement double glazing. Ashtead is a beautifully presented, unique property offering most comfortable and adaptable family accommodation. The additional apartment can supplement income if needs by on a short assured let basis (anticipated to be a minimum of £1,000 per calendar month). This of course can be accelerated through the summer months to provide excellent additional income well in excess of this quoted figure. It is of course a fine self contained unit in its own right and therefore may be ideal for additional living for family members.
