A spectacular country house nestling in the heart of Strathtyrum Estate, home to the popular Balgove Larder farmshop and restaurant and a short distance from St Andrews. The Factor's House has undergone complete refurbishment and is now available for letting

It is a five bedroom, 3 bathroom house with a gorgeous drawing room and a fabulous open plan country house kitchen/diner (complete with 4 oven Everhot Range) and set within extensive garden grounds. The Factor's House affords an opportunity to sample true country living whilst being a stones throw from all that historic St Andrews has to offer.

The Factor's House was originally built in the mid-19th century and many original features have been retained while the property has been brought fully up to date. This is a house not to be missed, whether for that special family gathering, as a base for the golfing holiday of a lifetime or simply as a wonderful holiday home.

    House was amazing. Everything I thought it would be from the listing, accurately portrayed.We had a wonderful 2 weeks there. There were some provisions in the house when we arrived to get us started after our long journey from the west coast of the US.I would/will go back to stay there.

    Overall, I would stay here again. Only problem we had was getting uber / tax arrive to our location can be challenging as there is no physical address. Other than that, the property was perfect!

    Stayed 5 days and 4 nights at Factor’s House. Exceptionally well maintained and was a great layout for us. We were a party of 6, 3 Dads with their sons who just graduated. Although we were just 6, the house easily would handle 10. The kitchen is great for morning pre-golf breakfasts. Living room was A for an end of evening Scotch. With three bathrooms, two of which had great showers, getting ready in the morning was easy. The water was always hot!! Great room beside the kitchen for storing the clubs and for beers in the second fridge. Although we drove most times, the walk into town was very doable. There is a walking path at the end of the entry drive that goes straight to town. Overall exceptional experience and I know where we will be staying next time in St. Andrews!

    Wonderful house, perfect for our family in preparation for our daughter's wedding. Kitchen is excellent, lots of extra room in the utility for kit/boots etc. it is about 1000metres from road on a dirt track so a little care needed but that aside no issues. The welcome pack was also very good and a real treat so many thanks.

    Brilliantly sized property for 8 of us to stay and well equipped kitchen. Very short taxi ride into St Andrews, about 5 minutes to the course, 7 to the centre.

    We loved our stay at the Factor House in St Andrews. The house was on an amazing farm. Very quick drive to town or a nice walk. The hosts were wonderful and communicative. I highly recommend!!

    A lovely house with large rooms. The house was always warm and the kitchen was the heart of the place. Good facilities in general. The lounge furniture could do with updating, we all found the settees uncomfortable. There was lots of wildlife however, very large spiders and lots of flies. The track up to the house was bumpy and full of potholes. It’s remote location made the place beautiful and quiet, nothing to disturb you at night. It is close to St Andrews, just 6 mins drive or a pleasant walk. Overall it was excellent with some room for improvement.

    I highly recommend the Factor's House when traveling with family and friends. We had 10 (5 couples) in our group. The home and property are beautiful, spacious, and clean and only minutes from the Old Course, St. Andrews and other nearby towns and villages. When we arrived we were welcomed with fresh meats and eggs from the nearby (and equally awesome) Balgove Larder. Checking in and out instructions were simple and clear.
