Situation
Within walking distance of St Andrew’s Botanic Gardens, the scenic Lade Braes leading to the town centre, local amenities, and schooling, 8 Priory Gardens enjoys an enviable residential setting. Scotland’s world-famous home of golf and the site of the country's oldest university, St Andrews is a thriving town catering to students, golfers, and residents alike. There is an array of shops and amenities to meet daily needs including boutique and independent retailers selling artisan produce and goods such as St Andrews Bakery, Mitchell’s Delicatessen, and Leuchars Quality Butchers through to well-known high street stores such as Sainsbury’s Local. Other popular retail destinations are Waterstones, Boots, and H&M. The property itself is conveniently situated within walking distance of Morrisons and M&S Food along with a local health centre. Thriving and cosmopolitan bars, restaurants, and cafès sit side-by-side offering fine dining through to casual lunches and drinks. Education at all levels is well-catered for. Positioned on the stunning east coast of Fife, St Andrews is the perfect location from which to explore the characterful fishing villages that make up this scenic part of Scotland including Anstruther, St Monans, Crail, and Pittenweem. Dundee to the north is a thirty-minute drive and Edinburgh to the south is approx. 90 minutes by car or just over an hour by train from Leuchars.
The ancient and historic town of St Andrews occupies a wonderful position on the east coast of Fife. Surrounded by picturesque countryside, woodlands, and beautiful coastline it offers much for the outdoor enthusiast with pleasant walk and cycle routes minutes away as well as opportunities for sailing, riding and days spent on the beach. There are world-renowned golf courses to enjoy including The Old Course at St Andrews and the Championship Course at Carnoustie. Residents can also discover nearby courses such as those at Kingsbarns, Crail, and Lundin Links. In addition to the breathtaking beach at St Andrews West Sands extending to almost two miles, there are several more to explore nearby such as those at Elie, Tentsmuir, and Kingsbarns, all of which are just a short drive. St Andrews Botanic Gardens, Museum, and Cathedral are just a few of the local attractions to explore and there are several National Trust properties in the area including Kellie Castle and Hill of Tarvit. State schooling is available locally and private options include those at St Leonards in St Andrews and at The High School of Dundee. An efficient bus service connects St Andrews to towns throughout Fife, and there are railway stations at Leuchars, Cupar, Ladybank, and Dundee. Edinburgh International Airport is within reach.
General Description
Set within an exclusive small residential development nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac, 8 Priory Gardens offers a spacious, bright, and comfortable home with a stylish interior and delightful gardens. Approached via a private gravel driveway leading to a detached garage and flanked by a neat lawn with mature shrubs, the front door opens to a welcoming carpeted entrance vestibule and hallway. This takes you into a most impressive dual-aspect dining living room spanning almost the entire length of the home. Bathed in natural light and with an appealing neutral decor including carpeting, it is an inviting living and reception space that seamlessly flows into the rear garden and alfresco area through sliding patio doors. Across the hallway and past a convenient WC lies the modern kitchen leading into the adjoining conservatory. Light duck egg blue green shaker-style wall and floor cabinetry sit alongside white tiled splashback and black quartz-effect worktops to provide a crisp fresh ambience. Integrated appliances include an induction hob, BOSCH eye-level grill and oven. The south-facing conservatory boasting panoramic garden views and direct access, is a wonderful extension of the kitchen and offers a comfortable retreat to relax in year round. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a stylish double bedroom. Ascending the skylit carpeted staircase from the hallway you pass useful storage before arriving at the first floor where two further double bedrooms await. Both enjoy a calm colour palette, generous proportions, and built-in mirrored wardrobes. Each shares access to a family bathroom complete with a chrome towel radiator, WC, curved bath with a wall-mounted shower, and washbasin built into vanity.
EXTERIOR
To the front, a neat and expansive garden with a well-kept lawn, pathway, and mature shrubs frames the front door. The gravel driveway runs alongside this leading to a detached single-car garage.
The peaceful, enclosed south-facing rear garden with its lawn, mature shrubs, decorative stones, and patio is the perfect place for relaxation, dining, and socialising.
