4 bed villa for sale

Bentmore, 14 Links Parade, Carnoustie DD7

The Championship Course at Carnoustie sits directly opposite the front door. One of the finest links in the world, it has hosted the Open eight times, Ben Hogan winning here in 1953 and Tom Watson in 1975. Number 14 is a handsome stone villa with bay-windowed elevations, decorative dormer gables and a roofline that has been part of this streetscape for well over a century.

Two substantial reception rooms occupy the front of the house, each with bay windows facing the links. The first is a calm sitting room, its bay looking out over the Championship fairways. The second connects through an open arch into the kitchen, the two rooms reading as one without losing their individual character. The kitchen is the interior centrepiece: A bespoke installation in deep navy with a large central island and oak flooring running the full length of the space. A fourth bedroom on the ground floor works equally well as a home office. A dedicated laundry room and a WC off the rear hall complete the arrangement.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom makes the most of the position. Its bay window frames an uninterrupted view over the Championship Course from the quiet of a well-proportioned room. A walk-in dressing room fitted throughout with shelving, hanging space and drawers opens directly off the bedroom, as does the en-suite, which features both a freestanding bath and a separate shower enclosure. A further family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Two further double bedrooms round off the upper floor, the larger with a fitted wardrobe and a clear outlook over the course.

To the rear, the garden is enclosed with a paved terrace and a laid lawn. A garage to the rear provides generous additional storage. The bothy, a stone building at the foot of the plot, needs repair and refurbishment but offers genuine potential as a studio, annexe or summer house. The plot extends considerably further than the front elevation suggests.

A home of genuine quality and scale, on one of the most distinctive residential addresses in Scottish golf.
