A stunning six bedroom property which dates back more than 300 years has gone up for sale.

The Rhodes, which is located on Rhodes Street, Dunfermline, is believed to be the oldest inhabited house in the Fife town.

The B-listed property comes with an east wing and west wing, along with half an acre of established gardens, established summer house and chicken coop, and fruit trees.

Inside the house there's a large lounge and dining room with wood-burning stove, a hand-crafted dining kitchen and a utility room.

It is currently on the market at offers over £499,000, and agents Aberdein Considine say: "The first floor landing provides access to the east and west wings. The east wing hallway is on a split level and leads to a double bedroom which is currently used as a hobby room and study.

"The master bedroom is a lovely room with three windows, wood floor and a luxurious roll top bath positioned beside an attractive wooden fireplace. There is a walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room with two piece white suite, double shower and window to side."

They add: "The west wing has two good sized double bedrooms, both with excellent storage and there is a third single bedroom to the rear.

"A shower room is fitted with a two piece white suite with separate shower and window to rear.

"A staircase leads to the large attic bedroom which would make a great teenager's wing or large games room. This bedroom features exposed stone walls, wood flooring and there is a good-sized room located off which could be used as a dressing room or home office or, subject to planning consent, it could become a second en suite."

The agents describe the property as a "truly fantastic house, which needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated".

While it dates back to 1695 it's current owners have done a terrific job in renovating and upgrading the property. While it is an attractive family home "full of modern conveniences" it still "oozes charm and character throughout".
