South Street, St. Andrews, Fife, KY16

Historic, end terrace house with an extensive 60m long walled garden

Description

112 South Street is stone built house with a gabled front with crow-steps along the roof line. The house is believed to date from the 17th century or possibly even earlier. It is at the end of a terrace which is aligned at right angles to South Street.

The accommodation arranged over three floors. A kitchen extension has been added to the side. It has a 60m long, south facing, garden known as a lang rigg garden locally. A door at the end of the garden opens into the rectory garden with a right of way onto the Lade Braes footpath.

Both the house and the adjoining Cottage at 112a South Street were rescued from ruin in the 1930s and refurbished at that time. The property is now in need of modernisation. Features of the property include:

Glazed door with side panels to reception hall
Recess in hall with Ideal Mexico boiler
South facing dining room with fireplace and glazed door to garden
Kitchen extension also with glazed door to garden
First floor sitting room with cast iron fireplace and carved wooden display recess
Adjoining principal bedroom with fireplace
Bedroom 2 / study over kitchen with WC off
Two attic bedrooms with built in cupboards

The walled garden is fully 60m long. It was formerly laid out in a series of rooms with lawns and a rose garden. It has become overgrown and is in need of maintenance.

Additional Property

The adjoining Cottage, 112A South Street, is available for sale separately at offers over £375,000. If the two properties are sold separately an agreement will need to be made to block up the door from the hall to the bathroom (which will go with The Cottage) to create a vertical division.
