Property Description
2 Balfour Place is a charming stone-built mid-terraced home, superbly positioned just moments from the beach, harbour and the many amenities of St Andrews. Offering bright and well-balanced accommodation over two levels, the property combines comfortable living space with a highly sought-after coastal setting.
The ground floor is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, which includes useful under-stair storage, and leads through to a spacious lounge and dining room. This dual-purpose room is particularly appealing, featuring hardwood flooring, neutral décor and two southeast-facing windows that flood the space with natural light throughout the day. A door provides direct access to the rear garden, while a serving hatch connects conveniently to the kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with classic cabinetry and offers generous worktop space along with a range of integrated appliances, creating a practical and functional layout for everyday use.
Upstairs, the property offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage and pleasant outlooks, including a sunny southeast-facing aspect to the rear. Notably, the rear bedrooms back onto a storage area rather than another property, offering an added sense of privacy and reduced noise. A bright family bathroom, fitted with a bath and overhead shower, completes the accommodation.
Externally, the property enjoys a delightful private rear garden, oriented to take advantage of the sun, with a combination of lawn, patio and mature planting, creating an ideal outdoor space. Unrestricted on-street parking is available to the front.
