Ground floor flat in a detached building close to centre of town


Description

The Stables forms the ground floor of the former stables building to St Leonards House, which was the manse for the church opposite, built in the early 1900s. The building was converted into two flats, with the ground floor flat being known as The Stables and the first floor The Hayloft.

The Stables is accessed via its own front door from Hepburn Gardens, from the gravelled courtyard. The Stables’ has its own private yard at the rear of the property.

A solid wooden door opens into a tiled entrance hall which leads into the living room / kitchen with a large feature window. This space has kitchen units with tiled splashbacks, a sink, Logik cooker with gas hob and an integrated fridge freezer. There is also a Worcester boiler situated in the kitchen.

Both bedrooms, the shower room, a storage room and access to the rear yard are located along the hallway. Both bedrooms offer ample storage space with built-in wardrobes, and bedroom two also includes built-in shelving.

To the east of the building is a private yard owned by The Stables. It is paved with a high wooden fence around. There is an external under stair storage cupboard.

The flat is also within half a mile of the 18th hole of the world famous Old Course, the Royal and Ancient Golf Club nearby and the West Sands beach just beyond. Nearby Cockshaugh Park links to the Lade Braes footpath which runs from the centre of town all the way out into the countryside where it is known as the Pilgrim’s Way.
