Key information
Features and description
- Lovely Detached House set within Substantial Garden Grounds
- Panoramic views across St Andrews Bay
- Very spacious accommodation with six bedrooms
- Mature Gardens with Apple Orchard, Barn & Potting Shed
- Ground Floor formerly run as Tearoom and Gallery
Taking in panoramic views across St Andrews Bay from its elevated position, Birchwood Cottage is a substantial six bed property set within established garden grounds.
The ground floor of the property has operated as a successful tearoom and gallery, with bed and breakfast accommodation whilst the upper level is a family home. The commercial planning permission allows for a return to full residential status.
Accommodation Comprises:
Ground Floor
The front door opens into a vestibule, which leads through to a welcoming entrance hall where stairs lead to the upper level and a store and WC sit off to the right.
Two en suite double bedrooms with bay windows sit to the front of the ground floor, enjoying a south aspect with a view out to the garden.
A spacious fitted kitchen with adjoining dining room sit to the rear of the ground floor, both enjoying those panoramic views across St Andrews Bay. Patio doors in the dining room lead out to a seating area from which to enjoy the view.
The left half of the ground floor has previously facilitated a successful tearoom and gallery, with it's own separate entrance and disabled WC. The former tearoom takes in the stunning views whilst receiving plenty of afternoon sunshine, and is a large room which would make a lovely lounge or family room.
The former gallery is split into two rooms, both of which look out to the gardens.
First Floor
The bright upper landing accesses a lounge/dining room, second kitchen, four bedrooms (one en suite), and family bathroom.
The lounge with dining area enjoys the best view in the house, with a balcony looking right across St Andrews and out towards the Perthshire and Tayside hills. This is the perfect spot from which to enjoy the stunning sunsets. This room also features a beautiful wood burning stove set within a timber surround.
The master bedroom takes in the same fantastic view, and also benefits from an east facing window allowing in abundant morning sunshine. A spacious en suite adjoins with bath, separate shower enclosure, WC and WHB.
The second bedroom (currently used as an artist's studio) is a large double room with dual aspect, looking across the water as well as down the gardens.
Two further bedrooms offer beautiful countryside and garden views.
A bright family shower room completes the upper level.
Outside Areas:
Birchwood Cottage sits within a substantial plot of approximately 0.7 acres, with large stone chip parking area to the front of the house, beautiful gardens and an apple orchard.
The mature and well-maintained gardens are mostly laid to lawn and offer many points of interest, with topiary, various well-stocked borders, raised beds and a potting shed with power. A pathway lined by cherry blossom trees runs down the centre of the garden, creating a stunning springtime display. This pathway leads to an orchard stocking five varieties of cooking and dessert apple trees.
There is a large barn of timber and metal construction at the bottom the garden, which benefits from a power supply.
