An iconic property dubbed 'the house on the course' is up for sale in the midst of Royal Troon.
Blackrock House is an incredibly unique semi-detached house in the centre of the course which is hosting The Open this week.
The sale of half of the property, after it was split in two, is described as a "once in a generation" opportunity to buy "one of the best houses in golf".
The property, which dates back 250 years, offers a birds-eye view of the 2nd, 3rd, 16th, 17th and 18th holes.
The iconic property will be seen in the background of many photos and television images from the tournament.
The home comes with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and four reception rooms.

Annabel Blackett, from estate agents Strutt & Parker, said: "The sale of Blackrock House is one of those rare times where you can safely say there isn't anything else like this available in the world.
"Built before the Royal Troon Golf Club even existed, the home's driveway meanders through the course and takes you into almost another world – a world which must surely feel like a dream for any golf fans.
"From here, you can watch five holes from the comfort of your own home, and of course you also have the club on your doorstep for your own playing.
"While the views are fantastic year-round – and particularly with the coastal waters in the distance – the position really comes into its own when a championship as prestigious as The Open is in town.
"This week, The Open is being hosted at Royal Troon for the 10th time, which means you can watch the likes of Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson tee off from various rooms in the house – certainly not a claim you could make anywhere else in the world!
"Now split into two homes, our clients have owned Blackrock House for 30 years, so this sale presents a rare opportunity for someone to own a slice of one of the most famous links courses in the country."
