Howard Place, Hope Street and Abbotsford Crescent are beautiful Victorian terraces laid out around central shared private gardens.

The property is 1⁄4 mile from the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and the world famous Old Course with the West Sands Beach just beyond. The property is also well placed for access to the university, and a short walk to all the shops, pubs and restaurants in the town centre.

St Andrews is renowned worldwide as the Home of Golf. There are now eight golf courses under the management of the St Andrews Links Trust. The Old Course is arguably the most famous golf course in the world and next plays host to the Open Championship in 2027.

The historic town has an excellent range of shops, hotels, restaurants, recreational and cultural facilities which include The Byre Theatre.

Beyond St Andrews is the East Neuk of Fife, with a spectacular coastline which boasts fishing villages built around picturesque harbours and sandy unspoilt beaches.

Access to St Andrews by rail, road and air is good. Leuchars railway station (8 miles) is on the main Aberdeen to London line and provides a link to Dundee and Edinburgh. Edinburgh Airport, with a wide range of domestic and international flights, is 50 miles away and Dundee Airport is 15 miles.
