An “old-fashioned” St Andrews home has hit the market for nearly £1 million – but needs extensive renovations.
Five-bedroom Rokeby on Hepburn Gardens is from the Victorian era, having been built in the mid-1800s, and retains a wealth of old features including a coal store.
Estate agent Savills describes the home as “old-fashioned” and says it would “benefit from upgrading and modernisation”.
However, the property is also said to be “characterful with so much potential”.
The house has a large entrance hallway.
Off the hall, there is a spacious living room with large bay windows, a dining room, a study and a kitchen.
Next to the kitchen, there is a utility room which has a shower and a coal store.
Four bedrooms sit on the first floor, including the master with an en-suite.
A fifth bedroom is found in the attic.
However, the study could be converted to turn it into a six-bedroom home.
At the front of the property, there is a small lawn surrounded by flower beds and a gravelled area.
To the side sits a narrow driveway offering off-street parking.
Out the back, there is a wooden garage and a separate garden store while a wooden summer house sits beside the paved terrace and lawn.
Rokeby is for sale with Savills for offers over £950,000.
Elsewhere in Fife, a stunning £600,000 millhouse accessed by a bridge has gone up for sale in Ceresburn near Cupar.
And further down the coast, a North Queensferry home directly below the Forth Bridge is on the market.
