Property Description

Plot at Wester Haining is a rare and secluded building plot, extending to approximately 0.27 acres, quietly positioned off Strathkinness High Road in St Andrews. Formerly garden ground, the site is predominantly laid to lawn and enjoys a peaceful, leafy setting, set well back from the public road and bordered by established planting including a mature beech hedge. The plot offers an exceptional opportunity to create a bespoke home in one of Scotland’s most sought after locations.

The site benefits from full planning permission (Fife Council reference: 19/03630/NMV1) for the construction of an impressive detached family home. With four reception rooms, four bedrooms and an annex room next to the garage, ideal for a home office / gym.

The grounds themselves are both private and attractive and allow a unique opportunity to build a bespoke yet cost effective, luxury family home in an exceptional location. Services are understood to be close by, and access is provided via a shared private driveway, over which the plot will benefit from a servitude right of access. The updated plans for an Oakwright oak framed house means the build which could be ready to commence swiftly with an estimated build time of circa 8 months.

This is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a well located and generously sized plot, offering scope for a high quality private residence within easy reach of St Andrews town centre.
