A TRUE piece of history is on offer with this family home which is believed to be the oldest inhabited house in Dunfermline.

Dating back to 1695, The Rhodes, in Rhodes Street, sits on a plot extending to around half an acre of private and elevated garden grounds.

This B listed, six bedroom house has been sympathetically renovated and upgraded by the current owners who have created a striking family home full of modern conveniences.

On the market for offers over £499,000, the property oozes character and charm throughout with sash and case windows and a large entrance sun room which overlooks the garden.

There's a lounge and dining room downstairs with a stunning wood burning stove with stone wall and hearth. The dining kitchen has been beautifully handcrafted and designed to provide a variety of cupboard and drawer storage along with wood worktop and white brick effect tiling, Belfast style sink, triple Aga, oven and space for fridge/freezer and dishwasher.

A large boot room and utility room can also be found on the ground floor along with a contemporary bathroom fitted with a three piece white suite and roll top bath with tiled floor, under floor heating and window to rear.

The first floor landing provides access to the east and west wings. The east wing hallway leads to a double bedroom while the master bedroom boasts three windows, a luxurious roll top bath positioned beside an attractive wooden fireplace as well as a walk in wardrobe and en suite shower room with two piece white suite, double shower and window to side.

The west wing has two good sized double bedrooms and there is a 3rd single bedroom to the rear. A shower room is fitted with a two piece white suite with separate shower and window to rear.

Another staircase leads to the large attic bedroom which would make a great teenagers wing or large games room.

Outside, there's established gardens, a summer house and chicken coop, shed and an array of fruit trees. There is a driveway providing parking for several vehicles and a large garage with power, light and new concrete floor.
