A cosy cottage just a stone’s throw from the Old Course in St Andrews has gone up for sale with a near-£700,000 price tag.

The Golf Cottage on Albany Place – which fronts onto North Street – dates from the mid-1800s.

It is close to the house where Old Tom Morris – known as the Grand Old Man of Golf and one of the sport’s pioneers – once lived.

The two-bedroom home has been refurbished to a high standard to offer a modern feel.

On entry, a vestibule opens to a corridor which runs the length of the house, leading to a back door.

Just off the corridor, there is a kitchen and living area.

The living room has a slate fireplace and a window seat.

The kitchen has been carefully designed to allow for plenty of storage and room for a breakfast bar.

The first bedroom is south-facing, looking over the courtyard.

It has a large roof light, walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room.

The second bedroom is opposite the living room.

There is a separate shower room to the rear with a cupboard containing a washing machine and dryer.

Out the back of the property, there is a south-facing, sheltered paved area for sitting out in the warmer weather.

The Golf Cottage, which is only a few minutes from the golf course on foot, is being marketed by Savills for offers over £680,000.

It comes after the famous Jigger Inn, run by the Old Course Hotel, reopened following a refurbishment.

A few miles away, a guest house has gone on the market for nearly £1 million – offering  “tremendous opportunities” to benefit from the golf tourism market.
