This traditional double upper villa occupies a central Market Street position in coastal St Andrews, a short walk from sandy beaches and the university. Fully HMO compliant and arranged over multiple floors, it presents immediate rental potential to investors seeking a lettable, city-centre asset in a strong student market.
Inside, a sunny, south-facing open-plan kitchen/living/dining room and three double bedrooms give practical, flexible living space. The property benefits from modern double glazing, a contemporary bathroom with shower-over-bath, a useful store room and included fittings throughout, reducing initial setup costs for landlords.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the property is small overall (approximately 777 sq ft), has electric heating and an EPC rating of F, which could mean higher running costs and upgrade work to improve energy efficiency. On-street parking only, above-average council tax and average broadband speeds are additional considerations for operations and tenant appeal.
For investors targeting student or central St Andrews renters, this freehold property offers an immediately lettable layout, strong location advantages and characterful period appeal. Budget for energy improvements and future refurbishment to maximise long-term rental income and capital growth.
