The Rhodes, Rhodes Street, Dunfermline, Fife, KY11 4TA

The property

Dating back to 1695 The Rhodes is believed to be the oldest inhabited house in Dunfermline and lies on the edge of the city's conservation area. The house is a short walk to the city centre and train station yet occupies a large plot extending to around half an acre of private and elevated garden grounds, enjoying a great degree of privacy despite its central location. This B listed house has been sympathetically renovated and upgraded by the current owners who have created a striking family home full of modern conveniences yet oozes charm and character throughout. With gas central heating and sash and case windows the accommodation includes a large entrance sun room which overlooks the garden. The lounge and dining room is a large room with 4 windows and double doors leading to the front of the property and is complemented with wood floors and a stunning wood burning stove with stone wall and hearth. There is a large walk in cupboard and a vestibule with window leads to the rear of the property. 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. Located off the kitchen is a useful utility room and a large boot room with base and wall units, sink, fridge and hob which is currently utilised as a guest kitchen. There is a split level central hallway with two cupboards and completing the ground floor accommodation is a lovely 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 is on a split level and leads to a double bedroom which is currently used as a hobby room / study. The master bedroom is a lovely room with 3 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. The west wing has 2 good sized double bedrooms, both with excellent storage 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. A staircase leads to the large attic bedroom which would make a great teenagers 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 consents it could be become a second en suite. Externally the property enjoys established gardens which extend to around half an acre and are mainly laid to lawn with established treeline borders. There is 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. This is a truly fantastic house which needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated. The Royal Burgh of Dunfermline is an extremely popular historical town being the burial place of King Robert The Bruce. A large town which has grown in recent years with a wealth of amenities including range array of shops, restaurants, bars and educational establishments. There are two large parks close to the property along with both primary and secondary schools. Excellent commuter links with buses, trains and the recently opened Queensferry Crossing linking Edinburgh to the south.
