Description
Fourth floor apartment in iconic building beside world-famous Old Course
Description
Thomas Hamilton commissioned The Grand Hotel immediately behind the 18th hole of the Old Course in 1895. It was the first building in Scotland to have a pneumatic elevator and hot and cold water in every bathroom, setting the benchmark in luxurious hospitality. The Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII) took exclusive use of the building and many famous celebrities stayed there including Mary Astor, Douglas Fairbanks, Rudyard Kipling and Bing Crosby.
The Grand Hotel created something of a sensation being built of distinctive red sandstone which brought a splash of colour to The Auld Grey Toon. During this time the Old Course was sorely pressed for available tee times and the size and scale of St. Andrews’ newest building prompted the Royal and Ancient Golf Club to build the New Course. This in turn encouraged the town council to promote the Links Act and gain title to The Links ensuring access to world-class golf for those who lived in the town.
In the Second World War the Air Ministry requisitioned the building, transforming it into training headquarters for the Royal Air Force. Shortly after the war, the ever-expanding University of St. Andrews acquired the building and opened it as a Hall of Residence called Hamilton Hall. The University sold the building in 2004.
RESTORATION
Kohler & Co, owners of The Old Course Hotel, bought Hamilton Grand in 2010 and carried out a painstaking renovation. The building was stripped back to its outer shell and rebuilt with an additional floor being added. They restored this great building to luxurious grandeur, creating unique and desirable private residences.
Hamilton Grand now comprises 27 homes of distinction; apartments ranging in size from 1,000 ft2 to 2,500 ft2 with a reception hall and concierge; a private lounge for residents and a sensational roof terrace. The views from this roof terrace over the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and the Old Course and over the West Sands and out to sea are beyond comparison.
ACCOMMODATION
Hamilton Grand is approached by stone steps from the front. A glazed front door with entry phone gives access to the magnificent entrance hall with a grand staircase to the upper floors. The Butler’s Desk in the hall is manned 24 hours a day. Lifts, secured by swipe cards, give access to the upper floors.
Off the hall is the residents’ lounge which has a bay window to the front. Residents also have access to the roof terrace, from where there are astounding views over the St Andrews golf courses and out to sea.
No 19 is one of five apartments on the fourth floor. It is in the north elevation, high above The Scores which is the street which runs along the cliff top above the sea and is renowned as being Scotland’s most expensive street.
The apartment entrance hall has a coat cupboard, washing machine cupboard and a WC off with a glass washbasin over a Chinese style unit.
The living room has a dark wooden floor and a fireplace with Adam style mantel, coal effect gas fire and fitted wall TV above.
The Kohler kitchen has a breakfast bar and fitted units with a Belfast sink. Miele appliances include an induction hob, two wall ovens with microwave function, a dishwasher and fridge freezer.
To the rear of the apartment is the principal bedroom suite. The inner hall has a built-in wardrobe with a hanging rail and drawers. The Kohler fitted bathroom has a bath with Jacuzzi jets, separate tiled shower with seat, twin glass washbasins on a Chinese style unit and a WC.
The guest bedroom suite is off the entrance hall and has a shower room with tiled shower, washbasin with cupboard below and a WC. The bedroom has a built-in wardrobe with a hanging rail and drawers
