On the first floor there is a lovely drawing room and the principal bedroom which has an ensuite bathroom.

Location

1 Kinburn Place is in a terrace of houses opposite Kinburn Park just outside the centre of St Andrews. The house is less than 300 metres from the roundabout at the end of Market Street and also within 0.75 km of the 18th fairway of the world-famous Old Course, with the Royal and Ancient Golf Club at its head and the West Sands Beach stretching beyond.

A gate and passage at the bottom of the garden leads into Argyle Street; on the other side of Argyle Street lies Cockshaugh Park which links to the Lade Braes footpath which runs alongside the Kinness Burn from the centre of town all the way out into the countryside where it is known as the Pilgrim’s Way.

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 next plays host to the Open Championship in 2027. 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. Dundee Airport offers flights to London Heathrow, and Edinburgh Airport is only 50 miles away.

Square Footage: 2,975 sq ft
