Sandford House sits in an idyllic, private country setting close to the popular coastal villages of Newport on Tay and Wormit. It has outstanding views over the surrounding Fife countryside which include glimpses of the mighty River Tay to the north. The property is highly accessible, well positioned for access to Dundee, Cupar and St. Andrews, with Perth, Aberdeen and Edinburgh also within comfortable driving distance. Good local services are available in Gauldry, Wormit and Newport on Tay, with all of Dundee's facilities and amenities on hand across the River Tay. Cupar, Fife's bustling market town, lies a ten minutes' drive to the south and offers an excellent range of shops and services as well as a thriving monthly farmers' market. The ancient and historic town of St. Andrews, globally acclaimed as the Home of Golf, lies about ten miles to the south-east. North-east Fife provides access to an area of particular outstanding and varied countryside with hill, wood, river, farmland and coastline. As a result there is a wide range of outdoor activities on hand with walking, cycling, sailing and riding all readily available. It is perhaps golf for which Fife is most well-known with numerous top-quality courses in a comparatively small area, including the world-renowned Old Course at St. Andrews which regularly hosts the Open Championship and Dunhill Cup. Other notable courses nearby include Carnoustie, Ladybank, Scotscraig, Kingsbarns, Dumbarnie, Blairgowrie, Downfield and Crail. Shooting and fishing may be taken locally whilst the lovely quaint fishing villages of the East Neuk like Elie, Anstruther, Pittenweem and St. Monans are well within striking distance. There are good state primary and secondary schools in the area with independent schooling on hand at a number of highly rated schools, including St. Leonards at St. Andrews and the High School of Dundee. There are railway stations in Leuchars, Cupar, Ladybank and Dundee with Edinburgh airport approximately one hour to the south. The regional airport at Dundee offers short-haul flights.
