Magnificent Victorian townhouse close to the centre of town.
Location
1 Hepburn Gardens is in a prominent position at the east end of Hepburn Gardens close to the town centre. It is 400 metres from the West Port which is the arched gateway into St Andrews that was built in 1587 as a monumental entrance to the city's South Street.
The house is also within 1 km of the world famous Old Course and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club with the West Sands beach just beyond. The Cockshaugh Park is on the opposite side of Hepburn Gardens and links to the Lade Braes footpath which runs from the centre of town all the way out into the countryside where it is known as the Pilgrim's Way.
St Andrews is renowned worldwide as the ' Home of Golf '. The Old Course is a regular host to the Open Championship which will next be held at St Andrews in 2022. There are six further golf courses run by the St Andrews Links Trust, in addition to the many other golf courses in the area including the Duke's Course, two courses at Fairmont, St Andrews Bay and Kingsbarns.
The town is also well known for its university which was Scotland's first and is the third oldest in the English-speaking world, founded in 1413. The town provides state schooling at Madras College which is moving to a new site to the west of the town. There is private schooling at St Leonards and The High School of Dundee is also within easy reach.
Access by rail, road and air is good. Leuchars railway station (5 miles) is on the main Aberdeen to London line and provides a fast link to Dundee and Edinburgh. Edinburgh Airport is only 50 miles away.
Description
Viewmount, 1 Hepburn Gardens, is a magnificent Victorian house dating from 1879 with high ceilings and generously proportioned rooms.
The house is technically ' semi-detached' because the former servants quarters are in separate ownership. However, the original composition of the main house remains. It has impressive façades to the south (facing into Hepburn Gardens) and west (facing into Wardlaw Gardens). The front façade has balusters above a pedimented stone front door surround, a front facing gable and decorative pitched and curved windows along the roof line. The west façade has two bays with a steep pitched and flat coned roofs above.
The accommodation extends to 4,913 ft2 and is currently arranged for occupation by two families with a ground floor shower room and separate kitchens on the ground and first floor. One of the kitchens could easily revert to an extra bedroom or reception room if required.
The main hall and three reception rooms are outstanding, with the drawing room and its dual aspect bay window, along with the dining room, being particularly impressive. There are currently seven bedrooms, two bathrooms and three shower rooms.
Many period features such as wall panelling, the beautiful stairway, fireplaces and decorative cornices remain. There are working window shutters in nearly all of the rooms. A cupola has been added to the second floor which creates good natural light.
There are two boilers, one serving the ground floor and first floor and the other serving the second floor. The radiators have electric fans and individual thermostats.
Square Footage: 4913 sq ft
Acreage: 0.16 Acres
Directions
Driving into St Andrews on the A91, turn right onto City Road and right again at the second roundabout into Argyle Street which continues into Hepburn Gardens (B939). 1 Hepburn Gardens is the impressive house on the right hand side just before the corner with Wardlaw Gardens.
