Situation
8b Howard place is a most fabulous garden level flat, located on the sought-after Howard Place in prime central St Andrews, Fife’s golfing mecca: moments from the town’s buzzing, vibrant cosmopolitan shopping district. The ancient and historic university town offers residents a superb mix of amenities and facilities and is renowned worldwide as the “Home of Golf”. Less than a five-minute walk from the house is the very famous Old Cours and iconic R&A Clubhouse. The impressive ancient historic ruins of both St Andrews Cathedral and castle and the West Sands are also nearby. 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, Crail and Elie, whilst the bustling county market town of Cupar is a short drive to the west. Surrounding St. Andrews is some particularly fine east coast 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 of course 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 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. Railway stations can be found at Leuchars, Cupar, Ladybank and Dundee, and Dundee and Edinburgh airports are within reach.
