Location

35 Lades Brae is set off a footpath just outside the historic centre of St Andrews. It is close to the West Port which is the arched gateway into South Street built in 1587 as a monumental entrance to St Andrews.

The house is therefore well placed for access to the town centre with all its bars and restaurants and the University. It is also within easy reach of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, the world-famous Old Course and the West Sands beach.

St Andrews is renowned worldwide as the Home of Golf. There are now seven golf courses under the management of the St Andrews Links Trust, including the world-famous Old Course which played host to the 150th Open Championship in 2022. There are many other golf courses nearby, including The Duke’s Course, two courses at Fairmont St Andrews, Kingsbarns and Dumbarnie.

St Andrews is well known for its university which is one of the oldest in Britain, founded in 1413. The historic town has an excellent range of independent stores, hotels, restaurants and cultural facilities which include a cinema and the Byre Theatre. Leuchars railway station is on the main Aberdeen to London line and provides a link to Edinburgh and a sleeper service to London.
