Description from owner

Description

Ivybank , on the Lade Braes Walk, is ideal for family holidays, within easy walk of shops, bars, restaurants, beaches, golf courses, museums, castle and cathedral. There is a play park along the footpath, ideal for children. It is also suitable for groups of golfers, visitors to golf tournaments and anybody seeking an easy, relaxing holiday
You will not need a car to enjoy near all St.Andrews' attractions. It is a comfortable house with wide views to the south. The house does not have direct vehicle access and has 26 shallow steps through the front garden so is not suitable for people with mobility problems. The Google Maps marker is misleading; the house is much nearer the town centre than it indicates.

Further details

Ivybank is usually let from Saturday to Saturday throughout the summer months.

Further details indoors

Ivybank is a character, stone-fronted house with pleasant decor, well maintained and managed.

Further details outdoors

The terraced, sunny front garden is quite a feature, stocked with a lavender hedge and other shrubs surrounding two small lawns. The small back garden is private , offering drying facilities and a place to sit on deckchairs in private, or enjoy a barbecue.
