An extraordinary conversion on The Scores, this 5-bedroom Victorian semi delivers contemporary open-plan living across 3,359 sq ft while keeping period character. The principal suite, top-floor bedroom with south-facing balcony and dormer sea views, and a generous kitchen/living space under a large roof light create bright, sociable family areas. Two self-contained guest apartments at the bottom of the garden add flexible accommodation or rental income potential.
Outside, the south-facing walled garden is laid out as two timber terraces with outdoor kitchen and wood-burning features, plus private courtyards for the garden suites. Roof-top outlooks to the sea and an iconic position moments from the R&A Clubhouse and the Old Course make the location a standout for golf lovers and coastal living.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property lies within the St Andrews Conservation Area which may restrict external alterations, council tax is band G (very expensive), and the neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan student area—seasonal activity and lettings nearby may influence tranquillity. The EPC is rated C. Services include gas central heating and mains utilities; the home includes a boiler room and outbuilding stores that reflect ongoing maintenance responsibilities.
This house suits buyers seeking a high-spec family home with strong visitor or rental flexibility, or those wanting a distinctive St Andrews property close to world-class golf and town amenities. It combines period character, contemporary design and clear income potential, balanced by conservation constraints and higher running costs.
