3. Abbey Park Avenue, St Andrews, Fife (Offers over £350,000 Thorntons, St Andrews)

Correct and present is our third property, which once formed part of St Nicholas House, boarding accommodation for St Leonard’s School. Converted in 2012, the whole flat has been designed in a contemporary fashion incorporating many great features, including oak flooring and a fully fitted kitchen. Located in the centre of the beautiful city of St Andrews, the coast is just a short walk away.
Mature gardens: This property benefits from a delightful lawn, seating area, vegetable garden and paddock
Picturesque: Set in Wales’ Carmarthenshire countryside, the property has lovely views

Set in a picturesque yet convenient location, our next property definitely gets an A grade. This three-bedroom house has both attractive gardens and amazing views overlooking Carmarthenshire and beyond. The Old School, in Capel Isaac, is well presented and makes use of all the space to provide a comfortable family home.
Well connected: Set back behind the old school walls, this flat is within easy reach of London’s King’s Cross station

High specification: A recent conversion has ensured the flat is finished to an exacting standard
Late to class but not to be missed is a one-bedroom flat to rent, in the sought after area of north London’s Islington. Many old schools in London have now been divided up and converted into flats and this one is both well presented and well connected. The flat benefits from easy access to the whole of London via various overground lines but is also situated just a short 12-minute journey to King’s Cross.
