A two-bedroom flat overlooking the 18th hole of St Andrews’ Old Course has just gone on the market for a whopping £1.75 million.
Described as an impressive luxury duplex apartment, 8a Jamieson House on Gibson Place enjoys one of the world’s most sought-after views.
It looks out onto the famous links course and the iconic Swilcan Bridge.
And it comes to the market just days before the 150th Open Championship tees off in the town, with 290,000 spectators expected.
It’s being offered for sale by Thorntons Solicitors, which says it’s ideal for spectators and golfers who “want to own a unique slice of golf history”.
Situated over the ground and garden levels of an imposing C-listed Victorian building, it is almost 2,000 square feet.
It boasts two large reception rooms, including a spacious lounge with remarkable golf course views, two double bedrooms, a study or third bedroom and two bathrooms.
And there is also a small private front garden and even its own wine cellar – ideal for sipping a nice Chablis while enjoying the action on the Old Course.
Catching the eye of ‘select spectators’
Peter Ryder, managing director of estate agency Thorntons, says it offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a home with one of the most exclusive views in the world.
He said: “Spacious and highly flexible, it would make a remarkable home for a diverse range of homeowners, from a growing family to downsizers seeking to enjoy a relaxed pace of life, with access to the finest golfing and, of course, St Andrews’ beautiful beach, which is just a few minutes walk away.
“This remarkable property has come on to the market with just a week to go until the 150th Open gets under way at St Andrews.
“Priced at £1.75m, we expect it to catch the eye of select spectators – and golfers who want to own a unique slice of golf history.”
