A cottage in a “superb” location near St Andrews Old Course has gone up for sale for nearly £800,000.

Abbotsford Cottage, just off North Street, dates back to the early 1900s and boasts bright and spacious accommodation which has recently been upgraded.

The two-bedroom home is spread across one level and comes with a dedicated parking space.

At the centre of the home sits the spacious living room, complete with bay windows and a stone fireplace.

The front door opens into the dining room while the modern kitchen sits at the rear.

The entrance opens into the dining area in the St Andrews cottage.

The master bedroom also has bay windows, in addition to a dressing room and en suite shower room.

The second double bedroom has fitted storage space.

Towards the back of the home is a separate study which could be used as a storage room or a home office.

A family bathroom with a laundry cupboard completes the property.

Agent Savills says the house is in a “superb, central location close to Old Course”.

The property is for sale for offers over £795,000.

It comes after a £1.25 million home on North Castle Street in St Andrews sold within 12 hours of hitting the market – for “significantly over” the asking price.

Elsewhere in Fife, a country mansion packed with period characters has gone on the market near Auchtertool.
