A HISTORIC Inverkeithing property has undergone a massive transformation to turn it into the perfect home. 

Sam Montague of Kadima Developments bought Fordell's Lodging on Church Street last year for £75,000 and has completely renovated the townhouse. 

A prominent historic building in the town, Fordell's Lodging stands three storeys in height and has a two-storey turret projecting from the main block. 

It is said to have been built as a townhouse for Sir John Henderson of Fordell - whose main residence was Fordell Castle - who acquired the property in 1666.

By a grant of Queen Mary, the family held the office of hereditary provost and sheriff of Inverkeithing, although there is no evidence that this right was ever exercised.

Now, over 350 years later, the property has been turned into a stunning three-bedroom home that beautifully incorporates the old and the new.

Sam has been hard at work since December of last year and after months of labour, he has managed to turn a derelict building into a charming property. 

He previously told the Press: "I’m always all for showcasing the original features, there were a lot of features in there that I wanted to add but it just didn't really make sense at the time but it really shows what Historic Scotland says and I totally agree with, when you’re rejuvenating an old property, especially a listed property, if you can show the story of the property through the development - so showcasing the old features, like the coat of arms, right next to a brand new, modern kitchen - it shows how the property has changed over time rather than concealing the old to have basically a blanket newbuild property on the inside.

"It doesn’t have any character and I think when you showcase these old features it adds to the character of the property and just tells a bit of a story."
