What is a typical expat home or apartment like in St. Andrews?

"A typical expat home or apartment in St. Andrews, is often a charming blend of traditional and modern design. Many homes are located in historic buildings, with features like high ceilings, large windows, and original architectural details. The interiors, however, are often updated with modern amenities and furnishings. Kitchens are usually equipped with modern appliances, and bathrooms are updated for comfort. Many homes have a cozy living room with a fireplace, a feature that is particularly appreciated during Scotland's colder months. Some apartments may offer views of the town's landmarks or the beautiful Scottish coastline. Despite being in a small town, these homes do not lack in convenience as they are often within walking distance to local shops, restaurants, and the university. Outdoor spaces, such as a small garden or patio, are also common in St. Andrews homes," said one person in St. Andrews.
