Ladebraes House is a delightful, modern home full of bespoke quality and
luxury items designed to give a warm yet open and light ambiance. This 2006
built home has a very flexible floor-plan designed for entertaining and modern
family life. The sole owners customized the home’s finish and feel throughout
the build and have extensively used natural materials including solids woods,
travertine, granite and unpolished marble to enhance the contemporary feel.
Despite being just a short walk from town through the picturesque Lade Braes
and in the highly desirable “Hepburn Gardens” area, the home has a very
quiet nestled location in a mature cul-de-sac. The professionally landscaped
and hardscape garden has many areas for outside dining, hidden relaxation or
family fun. The garden also features four brick or stone patios and a wooden
deck to capture the track of the sun. An outside Mexican styled brick fireplace
encourages evening dining on the secluded patio. Beneath the deck area the
ground is prepared for insertion of a hot tub, if desired. Ladebraes House is
approached by either the brick driveway for two cars or a wandering feature
pathway leading to a raised front entrance with small covered porch.
The home’s flexible floorplan offers many different room configurations to suit
growing families or mature entertaining. A large welcoming entrance vestibule
and hall leads to the visitor cloakroom, a formal dining room that could
become a family room or bedroom five, an open-plan dining family kitchen, a
study or bedroom four. Then at mezzanine level there is an expansive lounge
with feature fireplace and balcony. On the upper level are two further bedrooms, a family
shower room, the master bedroom with walk in dressing area and a large indulgent en
suite wet-room and bathroom. In the lower level is a well-equipped laundry room and
access to the two-car garage.

Britain. St Andrews is home to the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and the famous Old Course,
host to the 2015 Open Championship. Its amenities include Scotland’s oldest university,
founded in 1413, beautiful award winning beaches, historic buildings, including the ruins
of the cathedral, castle and St Rule’s Tower and a wide variety of specialist shops and
restaurants.
Renowned worldwide as “the home of golf”, the residents of the town are eligible for
reduced green fees over the seven St Andrews Links courses. There are many other golf
courses in the area, including The Dukes, Kingsbarns and the Fairmont St Andrews complex
(formerly St Andrews Bay).

Dundee, Perth, Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes and Cupar. The railway station at nearby Leuchars
is on the main Aberdeen to London line and provides a fast link to both Dundee and
Edinburgh. Edinburgh airport with its shuttle service to London is approximately fifty miles
