First Floor Flat, 12 Greyfriars Garden, St Andrews, Fife, KY16 9HG This spectacularly elegant and practical town centre apartment, overlooking its own private walled garden, forms part of a handsome B listed Georgian terraced property (circa 1836) enviably located in the conservation area of St Andrews, only a short walk to the famous Old Course. The apartment has undergone an extremely high quality refurbishment with the architecture and facilities being a wonderful combination of tradition with modern contemporary comfort. The apartment retains many original features, from the traditional storm door and lead paned inner door, the beautiful wrought iron staircase with its lead paned glass window, deep skirting, working shutters, to the decorative plaster and cornice work. The beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors comprises on the ground floor, shared entrance hall, entrance hall, cloakroom with WC; on the first floor, elegant sitting room with bespoke fitted bookcases and feature remote controlled gas fire set in a fine wooden surround with a Fife granite hearth, fitted dining kitchen with luxury base and wall units complete with a Fife granite worktop, utility room with washing machine, drier and airer, master bedroom with en suite shower room; and on the top floor, two further double bedrooms, study, box room and spacious bathroom with separate large shower cubicle and views over gardens and rooftops to St Salvator s Chapel and St Rule s Tower. Another great feature of the property is the owner s private garden, a hidden gem, accessed through a traditional wrought iron gate. The garden is laid to a contoured lawn with stepping stone path and has been designed to have something in flower in every month of the year. There is charming south facing copper roofed summer house, built in the 1930 s, to enjoy the sun and a sunken garden with a pond and water lilies. The garden has been a frequent feature on the Hidden Gardens of St Andrews tour. It is rare that an apartment of the quality of 12 Greyfriars Garden is offered to the market in St Andrews and as such should be viewed at the earliest opportunity.
