Situation
Lying in the small hamlet of Mount Melville wonderfully situated next to Craigtoun Country Park and adjacent to the prestigious Duke’s Golf Course with the Duke's Clubhouse only a short stroll away, Mount Melville Steading on the outskirts of St Andrews enjoys a prime rural setting. Less than a ten-minute drive from St Andrews, whilst residents can enjoy a scenic and pleasant walk into town by accessing the footpath along the Fife Pilgrim Way. This path meanders through enchanting ancient woodlands, before climbing a gentle slope to provide views of the town, and then descending to join the historic medieval Lade Braes. A bustling and charming seaside and university town catering to students, golfers, and residents alike, St Andrews, ‘the home of golf’ boasts an array of shops and amenities to meet daily needs. These include boutique and independent retailers selling artisan produce and goods such as Fisher & Donaldson, Mellis Cheeses, Scott Bros butchers, Rocco & Mitchell’s Delicatessens, through to well-known high street stores such as M&S Food, Aldi, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s & Tesco's Local. Other popular retail destinations are Waterstones, Boots, and H&M. Thriving and cosmopolitan bars, restaurants, and cafès sit side-by-side offering fine dining through to casual lunches and drinks. Education at all levels is well-catered for. Positioned on the stunning east coast of Fife, St Andrews is the perfect location from which to explore the characterful fishing villages that make up this scenic part of Scotland including Anstruther, St Monans, Crail, and Pittenweem. Dundee to the north is a thirty-minute drive and Edinburgh Airport to the south is approx. one hour by car, with Edinburgh City Centre just an hour by train from Leuchars.

The ancient and historic town of St Andrews occupies a wonderful position on the east coast of Fife. Surrounded by picturesque countryside, woodlands, and beautiful coastline it offers much for the outdoor enthusiast with pleasant walk and cycle routes minutes away as well as opportunities for sailing, riding and days spent on the beach. There are world-renowned golf courses to enjoy including The Duke’s Course adjacent to the property and The Old Course at St Andrews. In addition, a course is under construction at nearby Feddinch. Residents can also discover courses at Kingsbarns, Crail, and Lundin Links. Alongside the breathtaking beach at St Andrews West Sands extending to almost two miles, there are several more to explore nearby such as those at Elie, Tentsmuir, and Kingsbarns, all of which are just a short drive. St Andrews Botanic Gardens, Museum, and Cathedral are just a few of the local attractions to explore and there are several National Trust properties in the area including Kellie Castle and Hill of Tarvit. State schooling is available in St Andrews, and private options include those at St Leonards in St Andrews and at The High School of Dundee. An efficient bus service connects St Andrews to towns throughout Fife, and there are railway stations at Leuchars, Cupar, Ladybank, and Dundee.

General Description
4 Mount Melville Steading with its high-quality finishes, stylish interior design, and generous proportions promises buyers a wonderful lifestyle. From a cobbled driveway leading to a private garage, the front door opens into a welcoming entrance hallway. To the left, a stunning west-facing open-plan living and dining room awaits. Rich in character, the living area boasts exposed beams, a log-burning stove, and luxury flooring, all enhanced by a soft, calming colour palette. Generous in scale, it offers flexible space for both relaxation and entertaining, flowing naturally into the adjacent dining area. A thoughtfully incorporated serving hatch connects the dining space to the kitchen, cleverly reimagined by the current owners as a casual breakfast counter perfect for informal dining and conversation. The kitchen itself is a standout feature. Designed for style and functionality, it accommodates dining and offers direct access to the rear garden. Under-base lighting enhances navy cabinetry, paired with brass hardware, butcher block worktops, and a classic white metro-tiled splashback. A Belfast sink and premium integrated BOSCH appliances including a gas hob, eye-level oven and microwave, and extractor hood complete the space. Also on the ground floor is a west-facing double bedroom with built-in storage, along with a sleek, well-appointed shower room. Upstairs, the first-floor hosts two west-facing double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive with a soothing colour scheme, plush carpeting, and its size providing flexibility to accommodate various furniture layouts. A second, smaller double bedroom is equally appealing. Both rooms share a beautifully finished family bathroom featuring a hidden cistern WC, washbasin built into vanity, and a bath with overhead shower. Styled in a palette of matte black, crisp white, and natural hues, it evokes a serene, spa-like atmosphere.

Exterior

Tranquil and private, the cobbled rear garden offers a delightful place in which to unwind.

Parking is provided for by a driveway and detached garage.
