Lying minutes from East Sands Beach this deceptively spacious six-bedroom home in a sought-after St Andrews locale presents a superb opportunity for a comfortable family lifestyle. Welcomed by a neat front garden nestled behind a low stone wall and bordering the driveway and detached garage, the front door ushers you into an entrance vestibule and carpeted hallway. To your left, a south-east-facing living room enjoys a delightful front garden aspect, through a large box bay picture window. Cosy and inviting the interior design showcases plush carpeting, a statement accent wall, and an electric fireplace nestled in an oak mantle. It also features a useful built-in cupboard. Returning to the hallway, you arrive at a well-appointed modern breakfasting kitchen overlooking the rear garden. White shaker-style wall and floor units, worktops, and a tiled splashback in a muted natural tone are complemented by a gas hob, oven, and extractor hood. A large walk-in cupboard provides additional storage and houses the boiler. It doubles as a drying room since it has a radiator and also provides access to a guest WC. Adjacent to the kitchen, is a versatile dining room. Elegantly decorated with carpeting, a picture rail, and built-in shelving it leads to an appealing conservatory to create a wonderful space for hosting family gatherings and entertaining all year round. Boasting panoramic garden views and access, the conservatory with a calm colour palette and wood-inspired flooring is a serene retreat. Ascending the carpeted staircase, the first-floor houses four light and airy carpeted bedrooms, one of which is currently utilised as a study. Comfortable and tastefully decorated they each allow for versatile furniture configurations and share access to a contemporary wet room featuring a generous enclosure, washbasin built into vanity and a WC. Two south-east-facing, generously proportioned double bedrooms occupy the spacious second floor, with the larger room featuring built-in wardrobes.
