Set on a leafy street in St Andrews, this substantial five-bedroom detached house offers a generous footprint and real potential for a growing family. Two reception rooms, a garage, driveway and mature front and rear gardens provide practical everyday living and outdoor space close to shops, schools, the university, beaches and world-class golf.
The property will suit a buyer looking to modernise: interiors are dated and the house requires renovation and cosmetic upgrades throughout. There is one modern bathroom plus a separate WC; adding or reconfiguring bathrooms could improve family convenience and value. The EPC rating is D and the house will benefit from energy-efficiency improvements.
Practical extras include gas central heating, double glazing, and included fitted floor coverings, window coverings and light fittings. Note the property is freehold, approximately 1,863 sq ft and has an average mobile and broadband signal. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the immediate area shows pockets of deprivation, so factor ongoing costs into budgeting.
This is a blank canvas opportunity in a sought-after town: buyers wanting to create a contemporary family home in a coastal university town will find strong location advantages and scope to add value through refurbishment. Some listing images have been virtually staged.
