12-24 Golf Place, St Andrews

This is a three-storey and attic, four-bay building, originally the Golf Hotel, constructed around 1893 (the southern section facing Golf Place) and 1897 by Gillespie and Scott. The building occupies a prominent corner site and was converted into flats beginning in 1974. It is built of dressed, squared, and snecked rubble with dressed ashlar margins, and features a base course, partial second-floor cill course, and eaves course. Segmental-headed and round-headed openings are present at ground floor level, alongside corbelled oriels, keystones, voussoirs, stone mullions, and chamfered arrises.

The east elevation (Golf Place) has a tall gabled bay to the outer left with two broad segmental-headed openings on the ground floor. The left opening originally contained a pend, with a boarded timber door and multi-pane fanlight; the right opening has been altered to a timber-transomed and -mullioned six-light window. A corbelled, angled bipartite window is located on the first floor, with a corresponding window to the right. Above, a similar angled bipartite window is positioned with a smaller adjacent window. The two centre bays each have a bipartite window to the ground floor and single windows on each floor above, with some breaking the eaves into dormer-headed crowstepped gablets. The penultimate gabled bay to the right contains a round-headed doorway at ground level and a corbelled, canted tripartite window on each floor above. The outer right bay is largely blank, featuring bipartite windows close to the outer angle at the first and second floors, topped by a stone balustraded parapet that abuts a corbelled stack piercing the crowstepped gable.

The north elevation (The Links) displays three large, round-headed, keystoned windows on the ground floor. The centre bay on the first floor has a single window with a tripartite window to the right and a bipartite window close to the outer angle to the left. The second floor's centre bay features a segmentally-pedimented window that breaks the eaves, adjacent to a glazed oculus to the left and a bipartite window to the outer left angle below a balustraded parapet. A tripartite window is located to the right, with a further window above in a finialled gablehead, complemented by a tall stack to the left.

The windows have a small-pane glazing pattern over plate glass lower sashes; external secondary glazing is fitted to the east elevation and plate glass is used on the north elevation. The roof is covered in grey slates and features coped ashlar stacks, ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts, cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers, and a stone balustrade.

The interior includes a mosaic-tiled vestibule with a part-glazed screen door, a dog-leg staircase with timber balusters, and finialled newels.
