Situation

Finavon is beautifully situated in a charming established leafy setting on the corner of Hepburn Gardens and St Leonard’s Road, close to the heart of Fife’s golfing mecca of St. Andrews, and only a few minutes from the town’s cosmopolitan shopping district which includes South Street, Market Street, Bell Street and North Street. The ancient historic university town offers residents a superb mix of amenities and facilities and is renowned worldwide as the “Home of Golf”. The city of Dundee is some thirteen miles to the north with Edinburgh easily accessible to the south. Fife’s pretty East Neuk is nearby with its quaint picturesque fishing villages such as Anstruther, Pittenweem and Elie whilst the bustling county market town of Cupar is a short drive to the west. Surrounding St. Andrews is some particularly fine countryside and coastline with a lovely mix of farmland, woodland, river and hill ground. The result is home to an array of wildlife which provides an excellent choice for the outdoor enthusiast with walking, cycling, sailing and riding all readily available.

There are many highly regarded golf courses in the area including the Old Course at St. Andrews and the Championship Course at Carnoustie, both of which regularly host the British Open – the event returned to St Andrews in July 2022 for its 150th anniversary. There are seven courses under the management of The St Andrews Links Trust - the Old, the New, the Jubilee, the Castle, the Eden, the Strathtyrum and the Balgove – with the courses at Dumbarnie, Kingsbarns, the Dukes, Crail, Lundin Links and Ladybank also close by, and to name but a few.

In terms of days out there are a number of good sandy beaches in the area including those at St. Andrews itself as well as Tentsmuir, Kingsbarns and Elie. There are also several popular National Trust for Scotland properties in the area including Kellie Castle, Hill of Tarvit and Falkland Palace. State schooling is available locally with independent schooling being provided at St. Leonards in St. Andrews and the High School of Dundee. There are railway stations in Leuchars, Cupar, Ladybank and Dundee, with Edinburgh airport well within reach.

General Description

Constructed circa 1900, Finavon is a delightful, most substantial stone house which has a charming stone exterior under a slate roof and which internally still retains a host of wonderful period features. The well-presented spacious accommodation is most impressive and extends to circa 2,680 sqft, over two floors. At the heart of the house is the grand main drawing room which is open through to the adjacent sitting room – creating a stunning bright main living space, ideal for entertaining and with beautiful fireplaces at either end, along with high ceilings and extensive cornicing. The well-proportioned formal dining room is of a good size, again ideal for entertaining, with the study / bed 5 to the front of the house. Through to the rear is the very well-appointed kitchen with island unit, breakfast bar, Everhot electric range and a delightful view out over the rear garden. Leading off the kitchen is the excellent large rear conservatory. Completing the ground floor of this magnificent house is the beautiful front hall and staircase, along with family shower room, utility room and front and rear porches. Upstairs there are 4 delightful well-proportioned bedrooms (1 with en-suite bathroom) along with shower room and hall. A hidden fixed spiral stair off the landing leads to a generous attic room which, subject to all relevant consents and permissions, may offer considerable potential for the creation of additional accommodation / living space. The house has mains gas central heating and is located in the Conservation Area.

Finavon stands in a delightful, enclosed garden with neat lawns to the front and rear, sheltered terrace and a lovely mix of mature plants, trees and shrubs. Accessed via electric gates, there is ample driveway parking for several vehicles.
