Rarely on the market, an opportunity to purchase a handsome detached C-listed cottage dating back to the late 18th/early 19th century, and representing a warm and characterful home, with a traditional stone exterior and charming pantile roof.
Within easy walking distance of the town centre, Rathelpie Cottage is beautifully set within its stone-walled, lang rigg garden, with established apple trees, which stretches from Hepburn Gardens down to private access on to the Lade Braes, at Cockshaugh Park.
One particularly striking and unique feature of Rathelpie Cottage is it's “rare reuse of an exceptionally fine timber box bed” (Historic Environment of Scotland Statement of Special Interest), and highlighted in an article in Regional Furniture Society, Vol V, 1991.
Although the interiors would now benefit from a degree of modernisation, this unique two-bedroom home offers significant scope and potential for the new owner to make it their own.
The cottage is well-located, within a few minutes walk of the West Port, and adjacent to the Lade Braes and Cockshaugh Park. It has easy access to the wonderful range of amenities that St Andrews has to offer - a large variety of interesting shops and restaurants, the University, music, cinema and theatre, good transport links, and beautiful outdoor recreational spaces such as the nearby Botanic Gardens, the golf courses, parks and beaches.
Extras: All fitted floor coverings, window coverings and most light fittings will be included in this sale.
