1 Alfred Place, St Andrews, KY16 9XG

McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present to the market this substantial Victorian, three-storey end-terraced house, superbly positioned within the St Andrews Conservation Area. Situated on City Road, between South Street and Market Street, 1 Alfred Place occupies a prominent position in the vibrant heart of St Andrews.

The property currently comprises two self-contained dwellings. The ground floor provides a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, while the first and second floors form a separate four-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, which benefits from a current HMO licence for four people. Offering considerable flexibility, the property could be operated as a large six-person home or retained as two distinct two- and four-person flats, making it an excellent investment opportunity with attractive potential returns. The property is currently held on one title, with the potential for this to be separated, and is offered for sale with sitting tenants until June 2027.

The property has recently undergone substantial redecoration and is presented in excellent condition throughout, with a neutral colour palette providing a versatile backdrop for individual tastes. A substantial two-storey extension, added in 2009, successfully combines the character and traditional appeal of the original Victorian building with modern features and contemporary accommodation.

An entrance vestibule opens into an inner hallway, providing separate access to both apartments ; the ground floor apartment features a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area leading through to a well-appointed kitchen, which offers ample storage and a comprehensive range of appliances including a cooker, integrated refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. French doors open directly from the kitchen onto a delightful, secluded and sheltered rear courtyard. The ground floor apartment also benefits from two generous double bedrooms - the rear being accompanied by an en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom, positioned at the front of the property, features original window shutters and has an adjacent shower room.

The upper apartment, arranged over the first and second floors, is accessed via an attractive curved staircase featuring a teak handrail and cast iron balusters. On the first floor, there is a spacious sitting/dining room, kitchen, shower room and two bedrooms. The rear double bedroom benefits from French doors opening onto a balcony, while the second bedroom, positioned to the front, is currently arranged as a spacious single bedroom. The impressive sitting/dining room retains a wealth of period character, including original sash and case windows, fine plasterwork to the ceiling cornice and an attractive central ceiling rose.

The kitchen provides excellent storage alongside a fridge/freezer and gas cooker, while a separate utility cupboard adjoining the kitchen houses a washing machine and tumble dryer. Double French doors lead from the kitchen onto a further balcony, offering stunning views across lush greenery and surrounding garden grounds. This peaceful outdoor setting provides an idyllic space for alfresco dining in the heart of St Andrews.

On the second floor, there are two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from large walk in wardrobes, together with an additional shower room.

Externally, the property is approached through a gated stone and wrought-iron wall, leading to an easily maintained front garden laid with block paving and granite chips. To the rear, a beautiful combination of stone and brick walls encloses the private courtyard, creating a secluded and attractive outdoor space. A spiral staircase within the courtyard also provides an alternative evacuation route from the upper-floor apartment also.

With its prime central location, two self-contained dwellings, HMO licence, period character, modern extension, private courtyard and excellent presentation, 1 Alfred Place represents a particularly versatile investment opportunity or the potential to become a fantastic family home. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, flexibility and quality of accommodation on offer.
