Occupying the second floor of a handsome Georgian tenement on Abbey Street, this immaculately presented two‑bedroom apartment offers a turnkey base in central St Andrews. Bright, open‑plan living and a modern kitchen create a versatile space ideal for short‑term lets, a pied‑à‑terre or long‑term rental. The private west‑facing balcony and shared courtyard add outdoor appeal in a tightly located, walkable setting.
Currently successful as an investment, the property benefits from freehold tenure, gas central services and an EPC rating of C. Both double bedrooms have built‑in wardrobes and the shower room is contemporary, reducing immediate maintenance needs. Bay windows and high ceilings on the building’s façade give period character combined with the apartment’s modern finishes.
Buyers should note the apartment’s compact total area (c.594 sq ft) and its location in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood; the wider area is marked as deprived which may affect long‑term capital growth. On‑street parking only and average broadband speeds could be downsides for some occupants. Council Tax is band E, above average for flats of this size.
This property suits investors seeking a centrally located rental with strong seasonal demand, or buyers wanting a low‑maintenance town base near the university, beaches and iconic golf courses. It offers immediate income potential or comfortable city living with scope to personalise finishes over time.
