Location

Chagford has a wonderful setting close to the historic centre of St Andrews. It is 200 yards from the West Port in South Street so is ideally placed for access to the town centre, the University and the golf courses.

The house is set back off Argyle Street in a lovely south facing garden with a foot gate onto the Lade Braes footpath which runs from the centre of town all the way out into the countryside.

The nearby West Port is the arched gateway into St Andrews which was built in 1587 as a monumental entrance to the city’s South Street. The house is also within easy reach of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and the world-famous Old Course as well as 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.
