A FORMER Sunday school in Culross that's been transformed into a three-bedroom bungalow is on the market for offers over £320,000.

Built in 1883, the Stephen Memorial Hall on Little Causeway was deemed surplus to requirements by Fife Council in 2019 and attempts to sell it for community use were unsuccessful.

It was put on the open market and bought by the current owners in 2021, with Colin Jenkins, from the Amazing Results estate agent who are selling the category C-listed property, hailing the results of a "painstaking" renovation.

He told the Press: "They've done it extraordinarily well.

"It's an ex-Sunday school - I've already had a call from someone who played Joseph in the nativity! - and they've done a really cracking job with the renovation.

"We're beginning to get offers. I've even had interest from as far away as Texas but it's no surprise as Culross is a unique little place and has that draw."

Colin continued: "It's to do with Outlander, yes - and you've got about 17,000 tourists going there every day in the summer to see the locations where they film! - but it's much more than that.

"People from London want to come up, it's also commutable distance from Glasgow and Edinburgh.

"Of all the sales I've done in Culross over the last 18 months, every single one has been to a family with children which is brilliant, it helps with that real community feel.

"There's also the school, play area and the community-owned pub."

The council approved plans in April 2021 for the former creche and community centre to be turned into a holiday home, despite some concerns from locals.

It was originally built as a Sunday school for the adjacent Free Church - now Cunninghame House - and is on a "medieval cobbled street" in the heart of the historic burgh.

Describing it as "one-of-a-kind", Colin said the bungalow boasts three bedrooms, modern bathroom, open plan living room, reception and seating area, as well as the dining area and bespoke kitchen.

It also has energy efficient measures such as low carbon air source heat pumps and electric heaters, all controlled by wi-fi.

Colin added: "It is a superior example of how an imaginatively designed historic property can retain a wealth of character and charm."

The property still has traditional features with original timber flooring throughout the main living areas, a 15 feet high ceiling, three tall tripartite timber frame windows, ornate vented ceiling roses, cornicing, timber wall panelling and a feature fireplace.

There is the potential to develop the attic space but the property has no garden.
