The historical property at 18 The Scores has undergone a remarkable transformation into an impressive contemporary home.

Located less than a par three from the historic Royal and Ancient golf club, the building was once a tired, semi-detached house. Over five years, owners Andy Knight and Margaret Jackson transformed the property into a 3,359 sq ft home that features airy, open-plan living spaces, luxurious guest suites, and a landscaped, south-facing garden with dedicated “rooms” and wood-decked terraces. Despite being non-golfers, they fell in love with the property’s unique location and potential.

The couple’s journey from Edinburgh to St. Andrews was initially planned as a one-year adventure, but the appeal of the historic town, with its world-famous university and bustling atmosphere, kept them there for over a decade. They told The Times they are only selling their home on The Scores due to an irresistible fixer-upper opportunity in the same town.

Property agent Jamie Macnab said: “18 The Scores is an amazing house on one of Scotland’s best recognised and most expensive streets.

“The modest frontage disguises superb, modern interiors with bright, open plan living space. The two guest bedroom suites at the bottom of the garden add great scope.”
