A former Fife schoolhouse that was later used as a chip shop has gone up for sale.

St Anne’s in Kilconquhar, which dates from the 1620s, has been transformed into a modern four-bedroom house.

According to Rightmove, the property initially went on the market for £675,000 in July – but the price has now been reduced by £50,000.

The property – one of the oldest buildings in the village – has a landscaped garden with a patio area.
