Built around 1830, this bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits in the heart of historic St Andrews, directly opposite university buildings. The well-proportioned sitting room and two double bedrooms receive good natural light from front and rear windows, and the accommodation extends to around 818 sq ft — a comfortable size for central town living.
Positioned within the conservation area, the property benefits from an attractive sandstone façade and proximity to the Old Course, university facilities, shops, cafés and beaches. Practical extras include a ground-level external store for bikes/bins and a shared rear drying green. Mobile signal is excellent and the EPC rating is C.
Important practical points: the building is Category C listed which may restrict alterations and complicate maintenance or future works. The area is described as a student‑communal neighbourhood with some wider area deprivation, and council tax is above average. Broadband speeds are only average for the area.
This freehold apartment will suit a buyer seeking a central St Andrews pied‑à‑terre, an investor targeting student or holiday rental demand nearby, or someone wanting immediate central living with period character. Factor in listed‑status constraints and potential conservation requirements when considering refurbishment or alterations.
