Bells Wynd, Kingsbarns, St. Andrews

Red Nook Cottage is an outstanding four-bedroom detached villa offering stylish, flexible family accommodation in the heart of Kingsbarns. Tucked peacefully at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and set within extensive mature garden grounds, the property blends contemporary “Scandinavian chic” design with warm, characterful living spaces and impressive modern energy features.

The entrance hall leads into an inviting open-plan dining room, flowing through to the striking double-height dining kitchen extension. This superb space is flooded with natural light from Velux windows and features full-width bi-fold doors opening directly onto the rear garden — perfect for everyday family life and entertaining. A useful study area sits to one side.

The large lounge, featuring an electric log-effect stove, offers a cosy retreat and flows through to a bright sun room with lovely views and direct access to the garden. A practical utility room, contemporary downstairs shower room and a double bedroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the property offers three further well-proportioned bedrooms, two with eaves storage, along with a modern family shower room.

The generous gardens are a true highlight, featuring an orchard area, ornamental pond, sweeping lawns and plentiful seating areas. The front garden previously benefitted from full planning permission for an additional dwelling (Fife Council Ref: 21/01264/FULL), now lapsed, but offering potential for reinstatement subject to the necessary consents.

Energy efficiency has been thoughtfully prioritised, with an air source heat pump, photovoltaic panels and a Tesla Powerwall providing sustainable, cost-effective heating and power.

Perfectly located within moments of village amenities, the beach and Kingsbarns Golf Links, this is a beautifully presented and highly adaptable home in one of the most sought-after coastal settings near St Andrews.
