This charming end terrace house, steeped in history and dating back to the 17th century or earlier, offers a unique investment opportunity. Located at the end of a terrace perpendicular to South Street, the property showcases classic stone construction with a distinctive gabled front adorned by crow-step detailing. The accommodation spans three floors, including a kitchen extension that opens directly onto a substantial south-facing garden, measuring an impressive 60 meters long. Once meticulously landscaped with lawns and a rose garden, this walled outdoor space has become overgrown and is in need of revitalization, presenting an excellent chance for gardening enthusiasts or landscape designers to restore its former glory.
The interior has retained several historical features including a reception hall with a glazed door and side panels, a dining room complete with fireplace and garden access, as well as inviting sitting rooms on both the first floor and attic spaces. The property requires modernisation throughout; while it boasts original character elements such as cast iron fireplaces and built-in cupboards in the attic bedrooms, updates are needed to bring it up to contemporary standards.
With its prime location close to St Andrews University and within easy reach of local amenities, bars, and restaurants, this property not only presents renovation potential but also offers prospects for rental or resale given St Andrews' renowned status as the Home of Golf. The adjoining cottage is available separately which may allow for further investment strategies if acquired together. A thoughtful restoration of this historic asset could yield significant value in one of Scotland’s most beloved towns.
