The Croft is a truly charming and deceptively spacious detached cottage, originally dating from around 1850 and thoughtfully extended in 2004 to create a substantial family home extending to approximately 1,700 sq ft. Set within around one-third of an acre of beautifully maintained gardens, the property enjoys an enviable degree of privacy and seclusion, whilst occupying a highly sought-after position in the village of Strathkinness, just a short distance from St Andrews.
Beautifully presented throughout, the accommodation combines the character and warmth of a traditional country cottage with the practicality and space required for modern family living. A generously proportioned L-shaped hallway provides a welcoming introduction to the home and leads through to the principal reception rooms.
The lounge is a particularly impressive space, centred around a stunning stone fireplace with wood-burning stove and enjoying lovely views over the gardens. French doors open directly onto the patio, creating a seamless connection between the house and its delightful outdoor surroundings. The spacious dining room is equally appealing, featuring a second striking stone fireplace and a large picture window overlooking the gardens.
The breakfasting kitchen is full of character, blending modern convenience with a traditional country-house feel. Exposed brickwork, Morocan lime plaster splashback, Libherr Bio large fridge, a gas range cooker, contemporary fitted units and a Velux rooflight create a bright and welcoming space, while direct access to the garden further enhances its appeal.
The ground floor accommodation is exceptionally versatile, offering a generous main bedroom with French doors opening onto the garden, a further bedroom or additional sitting room, a dedicated home office, modern family bathroom, separate shower room and a practical utility room.
Upstairs, a light-filled landing with Velux windows gives access to two further bedrooms, both enjoying useful storage. One benefits from built-in cupboard space while the other enjoys access to extensive attic storage. A further bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.
Externally, the property is approached through double timber gates and enjoys exceptionally private gardens and grounds. Beautifully landscaped and meticulously maintained, the gardens feature lawn area, mature trees, colourful planting, terrace areas and a productive greenhouse, creating a tranquil setting to enjoy throughout the seasons. A carport and substantial external store/workshop provide excellent additional storage and practical working space.
