Chesterfield Road, St. Andrews

"I was drawn to this flat because of the enormous sash windows and the light that floods this flat. It's so uplifting. I also love St Andrews park and being able to stroll into town or the cafes and shops on Gloucester Road. The living room is a great spot for coffee and people watching, you can also get a view of the balloons crossing the city during the Summer Balloon Fiesta."
