Sefton Park Road, St Andrews

"We have loved living on Sefton Park Road and raising our children in the supportive community, and we will be sad to leave. Children running in and out, and playing on the street together. I love the beautiful high ceilings and architecture of this Victorian home and how light and bright the space is. Filling our home with family and friends, hosting dinner parties and children's parties. The buzz on the street when we all gather for celebrations such as our annual street party and Halloween."

The home

There’s a lot to love about this one. From the handsome stone-detailed frontage and striking bay windows to the stained glass, fireplaces and lovely original features inside, this is a home with real personality. It also offers a fantastic amount of space, with almost 1,800 sq ft arranged over three floors, giving you plenty of room to spread out, come together and make the most of everyday life.

The ground floor has a lovely flow to it, with two separate reception rooms providing a choice of spaces to relax, entertain or simply escape to for a bit of peace and quiet. The front living room is a particularly lovely space, with its large bay window, colourful stained glass and wood-burning stove creating a real focal point. It’s full of natural light and has a warm, welcoming feel.

The second reception room sits towards the middle of the house and is currently used as a family room. With another attractive fireplace and plenty of space, it’s wonderfully versatile and could just as easily become a more formal dining room, snug or playroom.

To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is a great size and very much the heart of the home. There’s a generous amount of fitted storage and worktop space, along with room for a family-sized dining table. The bright colour scheme gives the room a real sense of fun, and the layout works brilliantly for day-to-day life. A separate utility room is a welcome addition, keeping the practicalities tucked away.

Upstairs, the space continues, with five bedrooms arranged across the first and second floors. The first floor has three bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom, while the top floor provides two further bedrooms beneath the roofline. Whether you need room for a growing family, guests, a home office or simply a little extra breathing space, there’s plenty of flexibility here. Bathroom and shower facilities are also arranged across the upper floors.

The outside

The rear garden is a lovely spot to enjoy when the sun makes an appearance. A generous decked terrace provides plenty of room for a table and chairs, lounging and entertaining, with established planting adding greenery and a sense of privacy. It’s an easy space to imagine enjoying long summer afternoons.
