Nestled in the heart of historic St. Andrews, this charming eighteenth-century sandstone villa offers a delightful retreat set amidst its own mature, fully enclosed garden. Steeped in the rich history of St. Andrews, this villa boasts original features that whisper tales of centuries gone by. Constructed with stone from the castle ruins, this home holds a fascinating secret – during renovations in the seventies, a cannonball dating back to the castle siege of 1546 was unearthed from the boundary wall. Now proudly displayed in the St. Andrews Museum, it serves as a captivating reminder of the villa’s storied past.
Beyond its historical allure, the villa exudes a sense of spaciousness and elegance, with tasteful furnishings and top-quality fittings throughout. Each corner reveals a blend of old-world charm and modern comfort, inviting you to unwind and create cherished memories with loved ones.
