Unique townhouse with consent for luxury upgrade and extension
66 North Street is an impressive terraced house with a dressed stone front facing façade and exposed stone on the south elevation facing into the garden.
The house has been previously used as offices by The University of St Andrews. It has three principal floors with a basement below. There is a lovely wall hung staircase in the heart of the building with generous halls and four principal rooms on each floor. The basement has exposed stone walls and contains the central heating boiler and old laundry sinks. It has its own outside door into the garden.
The garden is south facing with a balcony over the basement well. A footpath sweeps between shrub beds and continues down a lane, past neighbouring properties to the cobbled part of Market Street.
Planning Permission
The sellers have obtained planning permission to convert the building back into a luxury dwelling:
23/00716/LBC | Listed Building Consent for extensions and alterations to dwellinghouse | 66 North Street St Andrews Fife KY16 9AH.
These plans rationalise the layout as a luxury house. A new kitchen / dining room will be created on the ground floor with a link to a superb, new living room extension to be built in the garden. This room will have a roof light, and extensive windows to maximise the natural daylight and the option of a glass covered walk over wine cellar below.
There will be five bedrooms and six bath or shower rooms in total. The principal bedroom suite on the top floor will be utterly magnificent with full width windows looking out over North Street, walk in wardrobes either side, a large bathroom and separate sitting room overlooking the garden with a south facing balcony outside.
The basement will have a gym, study and shower room with an outside door into the garden. This gives the option for the basement to be used as a self-contained apartment for staff or guests.
