Golf fans will be green with envy over the luxury apartment which has a stunning view from the lounge of the final hole at the prestigious golf course in Scotland.

The impressive duplex property has come on to the market just in time for the 150th anniversary of the Open – the oldest golf tournament in the world- being held in the historic town the Fife region of Scotland.
