The property

This beautiful house provides all that one might wish from a family home. It sits in a peaceful location, set away from the main road, yet without isolation, and remaining within easy access of the amenities of St Andrews less than 5 miles away. Dating back to the early 19th Century, it has many features typical of its era, which are combined with the contemporary upgrades of its recent renovations and refurbishments. The nearest town, St Andrews, is famed for its university, world famous championship golf courses and beaches, and also offers fine dining restaurants, shops, theatre, cinema and much more. There is also easy access to the pretty fishing villages of the East Neuk and is close to the famous Fife Coastal Path walk. Other major centres are also within easy commuting distance, less than 20 miles to Dundee, 25 to Glenrothes and Edinburgh is also accessible from the main line railway station at Leuchars only 11 miles away. There is also a regular bus service St Andrews, the East Neuk and beyond. Boarhills itself is an idyllic rural village near to the coast, and Branxton is close to the site of the former railway station. Branxton is an impressive country house with spacious and versatile accommodation. It has been subject to a full programme of renovation in recent years, with a beautiful and complimentary extension. It now comes to the market in truly walk-in condition. The new heart of the house is surely the kitchen and family room. The kitchen has been opened up to the extension which houses a bright and sunny room used as a lounge and dining family area. Here there are high ceilings with Velux windows, and French doors which open to the patio. In addition there is a more formal living room to the front of the house, with bay window and wood burning stove. A further room to the front also enjoys a bay window and fireplace, and offers versatility as it may suit as a fifth bedroom, formal dining room, play room or office. Also at ground floor level is the utility fitted with sink and units, washing machine and tumble drier, and a door to the side of the house. There is also a cloakroom fitted with wc and sink. Upstairs are four bedrooms and bathroom. The master bedroom also benefits from a dressing room, though this is large enough to convert to an en suite if desired. All three other bedrooms are generous sized double rooms. The bathroom is an impressive upgrade with P-shaped bath with shower and screen, wc, sink, heated towel rail and finished with metro tiles. The property stands in beautiful and extensive gardens offering a high degree of privacy. To the front of the house is a large driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles and which extends to the side of the house towards the garage. To the rear, a patio lies next to the house - from where the French doors from the family room open, truly extending the living space for al fresco dining etc. Beyond the patio, a lawn stretches towards the tree line and a fence separates this area of garden from the orchard, which continues down as far as the burn.
