An idyllic Fife countryside home with a quirky former schoolhouse has gone on the market.

The Walled Garden, near Ladybank, is set on a four-acre estate bursting with greenery.

The house features four bedrooms, four reception rooms and two bathrooms, offering flexible accommodation.

Built at the turn of the millennium on the footprint of the original buildings, the home benefits from incredible views across the surrounding countryside.
