45 Provost Black Drive, Tayport, DD6 9HD

Provost Black Drive sits within one of Tayport's established modern developments on the south side of the Tay, a short drive from the road bridge into Dundee and within easy reach of St Andrews and the rest of north Fife, with good schooling nearby. Weekend walks are easy to come by too, through Tentsmuir Forest and onto the beach beyond, or a round at Scotscraig on the doorstep. Number 45 has been renovated throughout, with a new kitchen and updated bathrooms among the recent changes, and the house is gas centrally heated and double glazed.

A driveway to the front makes parking easy, the integral garage taking care of bikes and overflow storage, and a gabled porch to duck under while you find your keys.

The living room runs across the front of the house, its bay window making room for a favourite chair, and a wood-burning stove set on a slate hearth for the darker months, when the room turns into the place everyone ends up.

At the rear, the kitchen has been refitted with marble quartz worktops, cut into a waterfall edge on the island, and two-tone cabinetry in graphite and white, finished with copper handles. The island is where the morning actually happens, coffee first, before anyone's properly awake. Sliding doors open straight onto the garden, and in summer the two spaces run as one, cooking and eating spilling outside. The kitchen flows into a dining room with room for a full-sized table, and a downstairs WC. An integral garage, accessed externally, completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, four bedrooms lead off a central landing. The principal bedroom runs to over four metres, with room for a proper bed and the fitted wardrobes to go with it, plus a private en-suite that means no queuing for the bathroom on a school morning. The three further bedrooms share a family bathroom fitted with a contemporary three-piece suite, the largest of them stretching to four and a half metres.

The garden is private, enclosed by mature hedging, established trees and timber fencing, big enough for children to disappear into on a summer afternoon, with a paved patio for evenings outside once the weather turns.

Four-bedroom houses on Provost Black Drive seldom change hands, and this one has already had the work done.
