General Description
Enveloped in picturesque open countryside, St Andrews Wells lying on the pilgrim route to St Andrews, was sympathetically converted from a former smiddy in 2000 to form a stunning family home and was further extended in 2012 by the current owners. Approached by a sweeping monoblock driveway, a neat lawn guides you to the semi-glazed timber front door and into the welcoming hallway adorned with high-quality Amtico flooring. From here an astragal door with side panel ushers you into a spectacular west-facing living room. Boasting a warm colour palette, plush Crucial Trading carpeting throughout the house, charming window seats, and an original stone fireplace housing a wood-burning stove it exudes warmth and comfort. Returning to the hallway, a spectacular roundel with garden access has been beautifully finished, to create an open kitchen, dining, and family room enjoying breathtaking countryside views. Showcasing a stone column with a wood-burning stove, ash flooring, and a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and LED lights this light-filled space perfectly balances modern living with rustic charm. The bespoke handcrafted kitchen by David L Douglas of Cairneyhill, Fife, a three oven electric Aga, a Quooker hot tap, Belfast sink, and a full suite of integrated Miele appliances including a dishwasher, Miele fan oven and grill, and microwave. A breakfast bar allows for comfortable informal dining. Featuring a Belfast sink, washing machine and tumble dryer a useful utility ensures the kitchen remains streamlined. A second carpeted hallway flooded with natural light leads to the magnificent principal double bedroom. Lying beneath a vaulted ceiling with beautiful French oak beams this luxurious room features a wood-burning stove, a feature wall with inglenooks, and captivating open countryside views. It is complemented by a separate dressing area with a built-in walnut dressing table and cupboard space, three double mirrored wardrobes, and a stunning en-suite bathroom. The spa-like en-suite includes a large double-ended Porcelanosa bath, a shower, a Duravit double sink unit with built-in cupboards, underfloor heating, a heated towel rail, and tiling from Kirkstone Quarry in the Lake District. Completing the ground-floor are two south-facing double bedrooms one of which has been converted into a handsome bespoke study with two walnut workstations. The other has a charming outlook over the front garden to the original well and features a built-in double wardrobe. They share access to a design-led family bathroom featuring a Duravit bath with shower overhead, washbasin, WC, and porcelain floor tiles. Ascending the carpeted staircase with rope banister, the first-floor houses two light and airy double bedrooms boasting a delightful aspect of the rolling countryside. Thoughtfully designed they each benefit from a contemporary en-suite shower room with unique Phillipe Starck style washbasins, hidden cistern wall-hung WCs, Amtico flooring, and heated towel rails.

EXTERIOR
The extensive gardens, featuring an original well, are beautifully laid to lawn and include a garage, monoblock driveway, and ample parking area. A sun deck provides stunning views, while a west-facing terrace just outside the roundel offers vistas reaching as far as Schiehallion.
