A modern home inside a Fife townhouse dating back to the 1600s has hit the market.
Fordell’s Lodging, in the heart of Inverkeithing, has been modernised to provide contemporary living within the Grade A-listed building.
The property is thought to date back to 1666-1671 and was originally built as a second home for a Scots nobleman of the nearby Fordell Castle.
Set across two levels, the standout feature of the detached home is the double-height open-plan living/kitchen/dining space and the adjoining turret room.
A wall-mounted royal armorial depicting Charles II’s coat of arms adds to the home’s heritage.
The first floor – which can be accessed externally from the rear – also features a bedroom and a modern shower room.
On the ground floor, there are two larger front-facing double bedrooms, both with two windows that flood the rooms with natural light.
A spacious family bathroom and a small utility room under the staircase complete the offering.
Meanwhile, steps to the side of the house lead to a path with access to the property’s first floor.
The Church Street property is for sale through Rettie for offers over £365,000.
It comes as a flat inside a 1700s mill with a stunning riverside location has hit the market in Stanley, Perthshire.
And in Fife, a £1.25 million home in the heart of St Andrews was sold for “significantly over” the asking price within 12 hours of going on the market.
