Summary - 9, RUTHVEN PLACE, ST. ANDREWS KY16 8SJ
Three double bedrooms with attic for extra storage or conversion
This well-presented three-bedroom detached bungalow offers a comfortable, low-rise home close to St Andrews town centre and coast. The layout is straightforward: entrance hall, west-facing living room, contemporary dining kitchen with French doors to a south-east garden, utility, three double bedrooms and a design-led shower room. A useful attic increases flexibility while off-street parking and a detached garage add practicality.
Finished to a high standard with elegant fixtures, bespoke white cabinetry and parquet or herringbone flooring in principal living spaces, the property feels bright and modern. The rear garden is landscaped with sandstone paving, lawn and mature hedging, creating a sheltered sunny spot for pots and outdoor seating. The bungalow’s single-level living and proximity to local shops, schooling and transport make it especially suitable for those seeking to downsize without leaving the St Andrews area.
Buyers should note a few practical limitations: broadband speeds are reported as slow, council tax sits above the local average (Band E), and there is only one shower room serving three bedrooms. The wider area classification flags pockets of deprivation despite the local affluent communities nearby — prospective purchasers may wish to check local services and long-term neighbourhood plans.
Overall, this freehold bungalow combines stylish, move-in-ready interiors with a manageable garden and garage. It will suit downsizers wanting single-level living near town amenities and the coast, or buyers seeking a carefully finished property with scope to personalise, particularly if faster broadband or additional sanitary facilities are priorities.
