Buchanan Gardens, St Andrews, Fife, KY16

Detached bungalow in large private garden

Description

68 Buchanan Gardens is a detached bungalow with harled walls and a tiled roof which dates from the 1980s. It has a sun room to the north and full height sliding windows in the sitting room to the south which gives the house excellent levels of natural light.

The tree-lined private drive leads past two other houses to a paved parking area to the north of the house. The accommodation is accessed through the sun room to the north or by following a path around to the door to the hall to the south.

The sun room has a panelled ceiling and gives access to the kitchen which has wooden units, a Bosch hob and extractor, two Neff ovens, a 1 ½ sink, and Hotpoint fridge. Off the kitchen is a utility room with floor and wall cupboards, a sink, Hotpoint washing machine, tumble dryer and freestanding freezer fridge.

The hall has a front door with glazed side panel to the garden. The large sitting room has sliding windows to the garden and a gas, coal effect fire with stone surround.

There is a cupboard off the hall with the central heating boiler and a hot water cylinder. The bedroom corridor has four rooms off, one of which has been used as a dining room but could be a potential fourth bedroom. The panelled family bathroom has a bath with electric shower. All three bedrooms have built in wardrobes. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room.

Adjoining the house is a garage which has three windows and under eaves storage.

Garden

The large garden is south facing and is fringed by trees, hedges and fences which gives it great privacy.

To the north of the house is the paved parking area with a drying green and a high wooden fence dividing it from the neighbouring property. There are shrubs around this area. The verge alongside the drive is owned.

There is a paved patio along the front of the house with raised beds and shrubs. This overlooks an extensive lawn and there are beech trees in the corner.
