A former Angus primary school turned family home has had its selling price cut by £75,000.

It closed to pupils in 2005 and was bought by its current owners in 2008.

It has since been converted into a five-bedroom home.

The property first went on the market at the end of July with an asking price of offers over £500,000.

The price was then reduced just a fortnight later to £450,000.

The former school is now for sale at offers over £425,000 after its asking price was cut again last week.
