The owners developed this fabulous two storey property to provide their own artist's studio on the ground floor and a luxury holiday rental studio on the first floor. The building lies at the bottom of the owners' garden and as the site previously housed their garage it is served by proper vehicular access. but there is no parking available. Guests can drive to the property on arrival and departure. On entering the property there is an area inside the door for storing golf bags, shoes,.etc and you then ascend a lovely wooden staircase to the studio. There is a window at the top of the stairs which means that this area is flooded with natural light. The studio comprises a comfortable living area with a sofa, a small table and two chairs, a desk and a Smart TV on the wall. This space is dominated by a huge picture window facing east and looking out over all of the historic neighbouring gardens that run back from the houses on South Street. To the other side of the living area lies a well thought out kitchen space. It has a two ring induction hob, wall oven, dishwasher and washer/dryer. There is a boiling water tap at the sink. Lying off the living area is the bedroom with a king size zip and link bed which can therefore be configured as a double or two single beds. There is a dressing table and ample storage. Off the bedroom there is a modern shower room. The whole studio, although compact, has been expertly designed and fitted out to an extremely high standard. This really is a "hidden gem" right in the heart of the town. Please be aware that the annual Lammas Street Market is scheduled to be in operation on South Street from the 10th August until 12th August 2025. The Fair runs until 11.00pm each day. Only pedestrian access will be allowed to South Street and Thistle Lodge at this time. The streets will be very busy but any noise will be greatly reduced by the hidden location of Thistle Lodge. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108150000/108147600/108147502/dd5a72e2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Market Street Apartment (No 12B) St Andrews - Kitchen - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-14&endDate=2025-11-15&selected=108147502&PinnedHotelID=108147502&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76480000/76473000/76472917/36710df8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fabulous 2 Bedroom Cottage in Central St Andrews St Andrews - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 21 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-14&endDate=2025-11-15&selected=76472917&PinnedHotelID=76472917&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93090000/93082400/93082348/a758609c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Castle Loft St Andrews - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Microwave 8.4 Very good 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-14&endDate=2025-11-15&selected=93082348&PinnedHotelID=93082348&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/95000000/94993600/94993571/e9c3b05f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Golf Cottage | 30 Seconds to The Old Course St Andrews - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-14&endDate=2025-11-15&selected=94993571&PinnedHotelID=94993571&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110910000/110909700/110909669/3c56bfe2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Windmill Room | 1 min to Old Course St Andrews - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-14&endDate=2025-11-15&selected=110909669&PinnedHotelID=110909669&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Superior 1-Bedroom Apartment (The Retreat) - (1 King) | Private kitchen | Coffee/tea maker, electric kettle](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/52000000/51860000/51853900/51853845/a6883665.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### No1.

Property was very well finished and all fittings to an exceptional standard. Clearly pride and great care has been taken in creating this cracking little bolt hole. Loved it. Only slight downside is the narrowness of the access lane for anyone with a larger vehicle. Easy enough to stop at the bottom and just walk the last 40 yards or so though. ##### The P.
