Location

5 Kinness Place is a lower ground floor flat in a terrace of houses close to the centre of St Andrews. It is well placed for everything that the town has to offer.

The house is also a short walk from the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and the world famous Old Course as well as West Sands beach. There is car parking in the Argyle Street car park and St Andrews bus station is close by. The nearby West Port is the arched gateway which was built in 1587 as a monumental entrance to the city’s South Street.

St Andrews is renowned worldwide as the 'Home of Golf’. There are seven golf courses under the management of the St Andrews Links Trust, including the Old Course, which played host to the 150th Open Championship in 2022. There are many other golf courses in the area including the Duke’s Course, St Andrews Bay, Kingsbarns and Dumbarnie, along with traditional links courses at Elie and Crail.

St Andrews is also well known for its university which is one of the oldest in Britain, founded in 1413. The historic town has a good range of shops, hotels, restaurants and recreational and cultural facilities which include a cinema and 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 (6 miles) is on the main Aberdeen to London line and provides a fast 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.

Square Footage: 528 sq ft
