Description
The Golf Cottage, 3 Albany Place is a single storey, stone built cottage dating from the mid-19th century. It is a couple of doors along from the house where Old Tom Morris, the Grand Old Man of Golf, lived.
The present owners have fully refurbished the house which has excellent natural light from roof lights to Bedroom 1, the inner hall and the main kitchen / living room. The cottage has a south facing outside area which has an external gate to the side of the house.
The entrance vestibule opens to a corridor which runs the length of the house with a back door to the outside area. There is a cupboard off.
Off this is the main kitchen / living room. The living area has a slate fireplace with a beam above, recessed shelves with a cupboard below and a window seat. The kitchen has been carefully designed, offering ample storage, Silestone work surfaces and a breakfast bar. The integrated Bosch appliances include an oven, microwave, induction hob, dishwasher and fridge with a freezer compartment. There is a Valliant Eco Fit Pure gas fired boiler and Hive heating control.
Bedroom 1 is south facing, looking into the outside area. It has a large roof light, walk in wardrobe and en suite shower room. Bedroom 2 is opposite the living room. There is a separate shower room to the rear with a cupboard containing a washing machine and dryer.
Outside
To the rear of the property is a south facing, sheltered paved area for sitting out in the summer months.
Location
Albany Place is on the main route into St Andrews which becomes North Street. It runs parallel to The Scores and is just up from Golf Place which is the street which leads to the 18th Green of the Old Course, the Royal and Ancient Clubhouse and the West Sands beach.
The property is ideally placed for access to the Old Course and the other golf courses operated by The St Andrews Links Trust, as well as the West Sands beach, the university and all the shops, pubs and restaurants on North Street, South Street and Market Street. The University of St Andrews is one of the oldest in Britain (founded in 1413) and attracts students from all over the world.
St Andrews is renowned worldwide as the "home of golf". There are now seven golf courses at St Andrews including the Old Course, host to the 150th Open Championship in 2022. There are many other golf courses in the area including two courses at St Andrews Bay, The Dukes Course, Kingsbarns, Crail, Dumbarnie and Elie.
The Royal Burgh of St Andrews has several primary schools and state secondary schooling at Madras College and private co-educational schooling at St Leonards. Dundee High School is within easy reach. The town has a good range of shops, hotels, restaurants and supermarkets, a cinema and the Byre Theatre.
Beyond St Andrews is the East Neuk of Fife with its spectacular coastline which boasts fishing villages built around picturesque harbours and sandy unspoilt beaches. Leuchars railway station (4 miles) is on the main Aberdeen to London line and connects to Dundee and Edinburgh. Edinburgh Airport, with its range of domestic and international flights, is only 50 miles away.
