Situation

Beautiful Wellburn is a wonderful idyllic country property, beautifully positioned and with good views, surrounded by some stunning Fife countryside. The house is well placed for the commuter, located just to the south of the hamlet of Rathillet and a short distance to the north of the popular county market town of Cupar, which provides a good range of local shops, services and amenities together with primary and secondary schooling. St. Andrews, the ancient and historic university town renowned worldwide as “The Home of Golf” is a twenty-minute drive to the east, with the full range of city amenities and facilities readily accessible in Dundee, home to Scott’s RRS Discovery and the V & A. Perth is also within comfortable driving distance with Edinburgh less than an hour to the south.

Wellburn provides access to an area of particularly outstanding and varied countryside with hill, wood, river, farmland and a lovely coastline all close by. The area is home to an array of wildlife and presents a fine choice for the outdoor enthusiast with walking, cycling, sailing and riding all readily available. It is perhaps golf for which Fife is most well-known however with numerous top courses in a comparatively small area including the world-renowned Old Course at St. Andrews which plays regular host to the Open Championship, with the next scheduled visit being the summer of 2022. Ladybank, Lundin Links, Elie, Scotscraig, Kingsbarns, Crail and the Duke’s Course are all nearby along with the many highly rated courses in and around St. Andrews itself.

The lovely quaint fishing villages of the East Neuk such as Anstruther, St. Monans, Pittenweem and Crail, several good beaches such as Elie and St. Andrews and the vast open spaces of the Lomond hills are also all within easy reach. In terms of visitor attractions, the area is well served by a number of National Trust for Scotland properties including Falkland Palace, Kellie Castle and Hill of Tarvit House. There are several state primary and secondary schools in the area with independent schooling on hand at St. Leonards in St. Andrews, the High School of Dundee and several well-regarded schools in the Perth area. There are railway stations in Springfield, Cupar, Ladybank, Markinch and Leuchars with Edinburgh airport about forty-five minutes away by road. Dundee airport operates short haul flights.
