The property

In the Hepburn Gardens conservation area of St Andrews, near outstanding amenities, world-famous golf courses, and the beach, this grand, double-upper, main-door flat, covers 1,912 square feet across the ground and first floors, forming part of a stunning traditional villa. It boasts four large bedrooms, two bathrooms, an exquisite living/dining room adorned with period features, a single garage, and a private rear garden. Whilst new owners may wish to modernise certain areas, the property is in good order, with largely neutral interior design. With a turret-style entrance, the private front door opens into a naturally-lit lobby to a reception hall with excellent storage. Directly ahead is the living/dining room, which impresses with its period features, from the lavish cornice work, to the southeast-facing bay window nestled behind a decorative archway, framing the idyllic dining space. A picture rail and feature fireplace complete the aesthetic of this spacious reception area. In the breakfasting kitchen, a U-shaped design, with room for a small table, comes fitted with wood-fronted cabinets and ample worktop space. It provides an integrated gas hob and raised oven/grill, and a freestanding fridge/freezer and dishwasher, as well as garden access, a built-in cupboard, two walk-in stores, and space for a washing machine. Located throughout the ground floor are three bedrooms. The first bedroom, with a striking, oversized window clad in rich timber, and the second bedroom, with built-in storage, are both generous king-size rooms, whilst the other bedroom is a spacious double arranged as a library/study. A traditional-style, three-piece family bathroom with a handheld shower and storage finishes this floor. Meanwhile, a traditional staircase leads upstairs to another king-size bedroom, which features a bay window, built-in cupboards, and a washbasin. It also has sole use of a bright three-piece bathroom with a handheld shower. Efficient gas central heating ensures year-round comfort, whilst period windows add charm.
