The Swilcan Townhouse, part of an exclusive four-home development called Fairways, will provide unparalleled views of the 700-year-old Swilcan Bridge, one of sport’s most photographed landmarks.
The historic crossing has been graced by countless golfing legends throughout its history, including Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson.
According to The Times, the 2,938-square-foot luxury residence, scheduled to begin construction in May with completion by September 2026, features three stories of contemporary design with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows and comes with a £7.25m price tag.
A standout feature is the panoramic rooftop terrace, perfectly positioned for viewing the Open Championship.
The property’s ground floor includes a vestibule, utility areas, and a south-facing ensuite bedroom with sliding doors designed to maximise natural light.
The first floor houses the primary suite, complete with a dressing room and ensuite bathroom, alongside a second spacious bedroom with its own dressing room and adjoining bathroom.
The crowning feature is the top floor, which showcases an open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area opening onto a vast external terrace.
The space has been designed to create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, ideal for entertaining or watching world-class golf events from a private vantage point.
The development’s timing aligns perfectly with the 2027 Open Championship, adding to its appeal for golf enthusiasts.
The project received planning permission in 2023 after initial proposals were revised following local feedback.
Early buyers will have the opportunity to customise the interiors to their preferences, as construction hasn’t yet begun.
The Swilcan Townhouse will replace a 1960s structure that developers determined had limited architectural significance.
The new development promises to blend contemporary luxury with the historic charm of St Andrews, offering residents the perfect combination of peaceful coastline, timeless charm, and golfing heritage.
