Westburn Court originates from the 1600s and pre-dates modern St Andrews. It was originally single storey comprising the present day open plan kitchen / dining / living room. The property was purchased by the Grace family who owned the house and garden behind. They added the upper floors in the mid-19th century.

The courtyard contains an historic font which dates from the 1100s and fragments of stone which came from the old cathedral. The gardens in St Andrews were laid out in long, narrow riggs and a rigg wall forms the outer boundary of the property.

The present day house is white harled under a pitched slate roof. It is a three storey building with lower ceiling heights to the ground floor and higher ceilings to the drawing room on the first floor. The main house has been complemented by a two storey extension on its side and by the addition of a conservatory which connects to the courtyard and gives the house excellent natural light.
