This detached chalet-style bungalow in Leuchars offers comfortable, low-maintenance living ideal for downsizers. The ground-floor bedroom and bathroom make daily life accessible, while the bright living room and adjoining sun lounge bring light and easy entertaining space. The property benefits from an air source heat pump and double glazing, helping reduce running costs.
Externally, the property includes a detached garage, a large driveway and an enclosed, low-maintenance rear garden laid to brick and deck. The plot is modest rather than expansive, suiting buyers seeking manageable outside space and minimal upkeep. There is some scope for extension subject to planning consent, but expansion possibilities are modest.
Practical considerations are straightforward: broadband speeds are slow locally, and the wider area is classified as socially deprived and ageing, which may affect services and community profile. The house was built in 1987 and has been extended; it presents in good condition but buyers should factor in normal maintenance for a home of this age.
Convenience is strong for local amenities, with shops, doctor’s surgery and leisure facilities nearby, and St Andrews, Cupar and Dundee all within easy reach. Overall, this property suits a buyer seeking an easily managed detached home with accessible accommodation and efficient heating, traded off against limited garden size and slower broadband.
