Summary - Rose Lane, St. Andrews, Fife, KY16 KY16 9EW
Detached, architect-designed single-storey house completed 2025
A compact, architect-designed detached bungalow completed in 2025, 7A Rose Lane offers a high-quality, low-maintenance home in the heart of St Andrews. The bright south-facing living room and integrated kitchen fold open to a paved terrace, creating airy indoor–outdoor flow and strong natural light. Fitted finishes include oak parquet flooring, a quality kitchen with integrated appliances, a contemporary shower room and built-in laundry. Environmentally-minded features include rooftop solar PV with battery storage and an EV charging point, helping reduce running costs and carbon footprint.
The house is freehold and designed for ease of living: two west-facing bedrooms with built-in storage, off-street parking for two cars directly at the front door, and a small low-maintenance garden. Its central location places shops, restaurants and the University within easy walking distance while the property sits tucked down a quiet lane shielded by the former Madras College wall. The house benefits from excellent mobile signal, moderate council tax and an EPC rating of B.
Important practical points: the overall floor area is modest at about 614 sq ft and there is a single shower room, so the layout best suits those seeking compact, efficient accommodation rather than larger-family living. The immediate area has a strong student presence and is described as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood; this brings vibrancy but also means the locality can be lively at term times. There is a mutual footpath and a legal right of access over Rose Lane, and the neighbouring occupant is permitted to turn in front of the two parking spaces — matters to note for privacy and vehicle use.
This property will suit buyers looking to downsize to a contemporary, low-maintenance home close to St Andrews town centre and the university, or commuters wanting a high-spec base with sustainable fittings. Buyers should be comfortable with the compact footprint, single bathroom arrangement and the character of the surrounding student-oriented area.
