The former Craigmount Nursing Home on The Scores, St Andrews is being transformed into six, two- and three-bedroom apartments, by Eastacre and Andrew Black Design.

The imposing property was built as two townhouses in 1898 and ceased trading in 2014.

The project began in January 2017, with the exterior being upgraded. The property will benefit from a new roof, slate stone repairs, re-pointing, downpipes, guttering and sash and case windows with double glazing. The scaffolding is due to be removed later this month.

Internally, the building is being renovated to form three apartments within each of the old townhouses, each enjoying sensational views of the North Sea and the world-renowned Old Course. The ground floor of each will be transformed into two bedroom apartments with private, south-facing gardens, while the first floor apartments will become three bedroom apartments. The upper floor apartments will also become three bedroom properties.

Andrew Black said: “We are delighted to be back in St Andrews, breathing new life into this striking, historic building which will soon emerge as some of the most sought-after accommodation in Scotland. This project follows hot on the heels of our transformation of ‘Ladies Lake’, just a few minutes’ walk away and is a great opportunity to show off our skills on another high-end residential project, further reinforcing our portfolio.

“It’s also good to be collaborating with another local business which is so committed to the town and to the preservation of ancient buildings.”

Iain Landsburgh, partner, Eastacre added: “In conjunction with Andrew Black Design, we are creating a fantastic luxury development on what is arguably the best and most enviable street in Scotland.

“Everything about these properties, and the views which the buyers will enjoy, are simply unrivalled and we very much look forward to revealing the transformation when the scaffolding comes down later this month.”
