The Factor's House is accessed via a private road off the main A91 road into St Andrews. The access road is an estate track and the surface is a little rough so care needs to be taken. It sits in its own grounds with ample car parking available in front of the house.

The house has been completely refurbished from top to bottom and provides spectacular accommodation over two levels.

The main entrance leads into a spacious hall with a lovely original staircase.

Off the hall there is the main Drawing Room complete with original fireplace. This is a wonderful space in which to relax with ample seating for 10 and a large screen TV.

Opposite the Drawing Room is a large double bedroom with a lovely aspect over the garden and this can be either a twin or super king bed configuration. Next to the bedroom is a modern shower room.

Finally in this part of the house is a small "snug" which is an ideal space for youngsters to hang out.

Through a short passageway is the spacious new kitchen/diner. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need and has a 4 oven Everhot range at its heart. There is a dining area for 10 within the kitchen. There is a back door giving access to a rear courtyard. Off the courtyard is a utility room with washing machine and tumble drier.

Upstairs there are four further double bedrooms including a Master with an en suite over looking the garden. There is also a wonderful family bathroom. Three of the upstairs bedrooms can be set up as either twins or super king doubles.
