An old Edinburgh school house has hit the market this week with a fantastic history and even better interior.
The Old School House in Currie is part of the Kirkgate, a former rural hamlet that includes another large home and the perfectly preserved Currie Kirk.
Tucked away from the main village itself, the four bedroom property has maintained its stonework and old features while getting a serious makeover on the inside.

Built in 1832, the property is fast approaching its 200th year, and is looking for a new owner to take over the property for offers over £800,000.
Not coming cheap, the home is made up of a stunning ground floor, which encompasses a living room, grand dining room and a more casual kitchen space which holds huge glass doors onto the garden.
Over the years, the walled garden attached to the school house has also remained intact, with the garden sitting on a few different but perfectly manicured levels.
The ground floor also contains one of the four bedrooms, with the other three situated on the first floor along with a stunning master bathroom.
Decorated with neutral tiles, the main bathroom boasts double sinks as well as a standalone bath which looks over the garden.
Expected to attract a large amount of interest, Rettie & Co said: "There is a feast of sympathetically restored features coupled with contemporary and top quality fixtures and finishes; it is a gem of a property and a fantastic family home.
"The walled garden on different levels surrounding the house has a selection of borders with an array of flowers and shrubs as well as a large dining area and bespoke outdoor pizza oven all adding to the al fresco dining experience.
"This greenbelt site is protected by woodland and grounds exclusive to both properties and provides peace and tranquillity to the prospective owner whilst being only fifteen minutes' drive to the city centre with public transport networks in and out of the city, on the doorstep. In addition, the Pentland Hills are just a few minutes' walk and there is ample nature on the doorstep."
