Standing proudly on one of St Andrews most desirable
streets, The Scores (Gillespie Terrace), the property
overlooks West Sands beach. Step Rock House is
understood to date back to 1850. It was originally the
residence of Lady Playfair before being split into two flats
over two floors. Lower Flat forms the ground floor with a
main door entrance and communal hallway. Having been
purchased back in 1982 by the current owners, the flat has
been well maintained and retains many period features
throughout. This includes the two large reception rooms to
the front with gas fireplaces, decorative corning and large
bay windows with window seats to encapsulate the stunning
coastal views. The property has high ceilings throughout, traditional sash-and-case windows and hardwood flooring in
the bedrooms.
The accommodation is as follows:
Communal hallway, entrance hall, living room (with gas
fireplace), drawing room (with gas fireplace), three double
bedrooms, shower room, family bathroom, dining kitchen, and boot room/utility room.
A door leads out from the boot room, to an enclosed
courtyard to the rear with direct access onto Gillespie Wynd.
To the front, there is a small enclosed communal garden laid
to lawn with a beech hedge.
Lower Flat, Step Rock House is situated on one of St
Andrews's most desirable streets, The Scores, and offers
spectacular views across West Sands beach and inland
across the golf courses. The proximity to the infamous
Royal and Ancient Golf club and course make this flat the
ideal location for any keen golfer.
The property is a short walk from the high street with direct
access onto Gillespie Wynd lane via the courtyard to the
rear. As well as three beaches and historic buildings, the
town is also home to dozens of cafes, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, boutique shops as well as recreational
and cultural facilities. It is also home to Scotland's oldest
university, founded in 1413.
West Sands beach, over which the property looks, extends
to almost 2 miles of uninterrupted sandy beach with dunes, renowned as being in the opening scenes of the film
Chariots of Fire, and backs onto the Old Course.
The town provides good state schooling at Madras College
as well as private schooling at St Leonards, and Dundee High
School which is in easy reach. Of course, golf is one of the
area's main attractions with world famous Old Course on the
doorstep. The residents of the town are eligible for reduced
green fees over the seven St Andrews Links courses. There
are many courses in the area including the Duke's Course, two courses at Fairmont, St Andrews Bay and Kingsbarns.
Beyond St Andrews is the East Neuk of Fife renowned for
its quaint fishing villages and sandy unspoilt beaches. It is
all linked via the Fife coastal path, which passes through St
Andrews and provides a spectacular 117-mile trail around the
coastline.
St Andrews is easily accessible by rail with Leauchars train
station only 10 minutes by road, providing links to Perth, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and London. There are swift road links
to Edinburgh, with the dual carriageway (M90) connection
only 20 miles away at Kirkcaldy. Dundee Airport is 11 miles
