Cromwell Road, St. Andrews, BS6 5HD

"We viewed our flat in the middle of summer and instantly fell in love. Gloucester Road was alive – the sun was out, pubs were bustling, and there was a real buzz that we’d been seeking since leaving London. That, contrasted with a sun-filled balcony and luscious green outlook has given us the perfect balance. Whether entertaining friends and family or sitting in our rocking chair with a coffee, it’s always been a space full of joy. We feel so lucky to have lived here for the last five years."

The home

A light, spacious and beautifully polished Victorian hall floor conversion with a stylish finish and homely vibe. Upon entering this home you are immediately struck by how large, airy and well proportioned it is and how there's so little wasted space. The open plan living faces to the rear and is the heartbeat of the home. With a lush, green south-facing vista and an elevated position, just open the French doors and invite the summer inside. The colour palette is vibrant and on trend to create a peaceful space that's perfect for hosting friends or just chilling out. The kitchen is great, with loads of storage and worktop space, it's perfect for the serious home chef and super social due to the central positioning of the dining area.

The passageway between the living area and the bedroom is stylishly finished with display shelves making it very much a feature of the home. It also hosts a large understairs storage cupboard that's plenty big enough to tuck away all your camping gear, vacuum and bits and bobs. The bedroom is a wonderful space. Large and with high ceilings, accentuated with elegant panelling and a two tone colour scheme, it's more than just a bedroom and a calming retreat at the end of a long day. There's even space for a home work station and lots of room for wardrobes. The property is rounded off perfectly by a chic ensuite bathroom with a full sized bath, pretty tiling and sleek finish. This is the perfect couples flat in an incredibly vibrant, popular and convenient area of the city.

The outside

Through the French doors in the lounge is a small balcony with views across the trees to the South, with plenty of room to enjoy a coffee and listen to birdsong. It's a great extension of the lounge, and bathed in sunlight, it's the perfect place to grow herbs and flowers.
