Occupying a superb position on South Street in the heart of St Andrews, 42A South Street is a bright and generously proportioned two-bedroom first-floor apartment offering spacious accommodation and excellent investment credentials. Benefitting from gas central heating, attractive period features and a highly sought-after central location, the property is ideally suited as a private residence or investment opportunity.

Accessed via a short flight of external stairs leading to a communal entrance, the apartment opens into a large welcoming hallway. Presented in good decorative order throughout, the accommodation enjoys an abundance of natural light and well-proportioned rooms.

The spacious lounge is a particularly impressive room, beautifully presented with elegant wall panelling and deep-set dual aspect windows that flood the space with natural light throughout the day. A striking stone fireplace, complete with a wood-burning stove, forms an attractive focal point, while the generous proportions comfortably accommodate both seating and entertaining areas. Bespoke window seats create charming spots to relax and enjoy the garden outlook. A wide archway provides a seamless connection to the kitchen, creating an excellent flow for modern family living and entertaining.

The modern fitted kitchen is a beautifully appointed space, seamlessly combining contemporary style with characterful period features. Fitted with an excellent range of shaker-style wall and base units, complemented by warm timber worktops and striking glazed tiled splashbacks, it offers generous storage and workspace throughout. Integrated appliances and a Belfast-style sink enhance both practicality and charm, while the feature stone fireplace and exposed stone detailing provide an appealing reminder of the property's heritage. A dedicated dining area is bathed in natural light from two large roof windows and a feature window overlooking the gardens, creating a bright and welcoming setting for everyday dining and entertaining. This impressive kitchen successfully blends modern convenience with timeless character.

Bedroom one is an exceptionally generous and beautifully presented double bedroom, positioned above the pend and enjoying a charming outlook along the historic lane below. Filled with natural light from two deep-set windows, the room offers ample space for a seating area or home-working desk and is further enhanced by an impressive original marble fireplace, adding character and a strong sense of period charm. The second bedroom is a stylish and inviting double room, finished in an attractive contemporary palette and featuring fitted storage together with a built-in desk beneath the window, creating an ideal space for guests, home working or continued rental use. Serving both bedrooms, the beautifully appointed shower room is finished to a high standard, featuring a large walk-in shower with elegant marble-effect tiling, contemporary sanitaryware and the added comfort of electric underfloor heating.

The property is currently let and is being sold with tenants in situ, with students already committed to a lease for the forthcoming academic year, generating a combined rental income of £3,500 per calendar month.
