Description
Closeburn is a bright and spacious timber built house extending to over 1,600 ft2. It was constructed by W.H.Colt Son & Co Ltd in the 1960s. The walls are Canadian cedar and the roof is shingle. The present owners have upgraded the original house with a modern kitchen and shower room. It has double glazed windows.
The house has a large living room with a glazed door opening onto a south facing terrace. There is an open plan kitchen / dining room with a door to a side porch. It is in good decorative condition and was let out on a long term basis until January 2024.
The garden which extends to over 0.5 acres is a special feature. It is south facing and slopes down to the Kinness Burn with the St. Andrews Botanic Garden on the opposite side. It is mainly down to lawn with shrubs and a hedge dividing it from the park.
Development Potential:
The present owner has submitted a PreApp to Fife Council to investigate redeveloping the property as a two storey house.
Location
Closeburn has a wonderful setting close to the centre of St Andrews. It is set off a private road in a lovely south facing garden which runs down to the Kinness Burn with St Andrews Botantic Garden on the opposite side.
The house is adjacent to the Cockshaugh Park and has direct access onto the Lade Braes footpath which runs from the centre of town all the way out into the countryside. It is less than ¼ mile from the West Port Gate in the centre of town and is ideally placed for access to the town centre, the University and the golf courses.
The nearby West Port is the arched gateway into St Andrews which was built in 1587 as a monumental entrance to the city’s South Street. The house is also within easy reach of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and the world-famous Old Course as well as West Sands beach. St Andrews is renowned worldwide as the 'Home of Golf’. There are now seven golf courses under the management of the St Andrews Links Trust, including the world-famous Old Course which played host to the 150th Open Championship in 2022. There are many other golf courses nearby, including The Duke’s Course, two courses at Fairmont St Andrews, Kingsbarns and Dumbarnie.
St Andrews is well known for its university which is one of the oldest in Britain, founded in 1413. The historic town has an excellent range of independent stores, hotels, restaurants and cultural facilities which include a cinema and the Byre Theatre. Leuchars railway station is on the main Aberdeen to London line and provides a link to Edinburgh and a sleeper service to London. Dundee Airport offers flights to London Heathrow, and Edinburgh Airport is only 50 miles away.
