Scotland: St Andrews Links

Golf has been played on St Andrews Links for more than 600 years, and the Old Course is widely regarded as the world’s oldest. Today it still welcomes the public and regularly hosts prestigious tournaments, including The Open. Rarely does a residence afford uninterrupted panoramas of this landscape, and this new three-bedroom townhouse will likely be the last development of its kind to take such a prominent position. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the Swilcan Bridge, the 17th green, the Old Course, and the St Andrews West Sands. Yet the vistas are only the beginning. Inside and out, modern luxury blends seamlessly with the area’s heritage, from bespoke fixtures to locally quarried Angus sandstone that echo the region’s storied past.

Ascot: Ascot Racecourse

The historic Ascot Racecourse, founded in 1711 by Queen Anne, lies at the heart of the equestrian calendar, hosting 26 racedays each year alongside a wealth of cultural events. This welcoming family home sits less than a furlong from the iconic venue yet is positioned off one of Ascot’s most desirable roads on its own 0.61-acre plot, offering rare privacy and seclusion. Lovingly maintained by its current owners for 32 years, the house was extended in 2003 to create the spacious layout seen today. As warmer days approach, the garden reveals whimsical nooks perfect for al fresco dining, while a detached indoor swimming pool and adjoining summerhouse complete the picture of relaxed country living.
