1-2 Loudens Close originally comprised two stone built cottages which are painted white under a tiled roof. The properties were adapted for modern use with No 2 being used at various times as an art gallery, a youth club and for schooling children in road safety.

The cottages were converted into a single dwelling in the late 1930's by the St Andrews Preservation Trust. The magnificent, open plan reception room retains the ambience from when it was used as an art gallery. There is a mezzanine area above which is currently used as a study, but could be returned to its former use as a third bedroom if required (subject to local authority consents). Beneath this is a cosy sitting area with a fireplace.

The property was upgraded by the present owners in 2002 who re-roofed the house, installed a new kitchen and bathrooms and tiled the ground floor of no 1. They also added underfloor heating to this ground floor section of the house. The accommodation now comprises:

Double wooden doors to entrance with stairs to first floor. Shower room / utility room with shower compartment and Aeg washing machine. Separate WC.

Kitchen with granite topped units, 1.5 sink, Neff gas hob and electric cooker. Arch to coat hanging area and under stairs cupboard.

On the first floor are two bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes and cupboards. Bedroom 1 has an ensuite shower room and a cupboard containing the Performa 281 gas fired boiler. Bedroom 2 is larger and is used as the principal bedroom.

The galleried reception living room is full height to the eaves. It has fireplaces at either end with coal effect, gas fired stoves. There are wooden stairs up to the mezzanine, which is currently used as a study with fitted desks.

Garden
At the end of the lane, on the corner with the Lades Braes Walk, is a south facing walled garden. This is supplied with both power and water.

A full height door off the Lades Braes Walk gives access to the garden. There is a paved path up the side with the garden being arranged in three compartments. There is a kitchen garden with wooden shed to the front, a large lawn in the middle and a paved terrace / barbeque area to the rear with a wooden summer house.
