A WEST Fife property has been named in the top ten of the most viewed homes in Scotland last month.

ESPC has revealed the the ten homes for sale in August which were the most popular with househunters on their website.

Coming in at number seven was an Edwardian villa in North Queensferry's Ferryhills Road which boasts beautiful views of the Forth.

On the market for offers over £575,000, the rarely available property "offers a wealth of stunning period features and is set inside manicured gated gardens".

With four bedrooms and three – and plenty of socialising space – agents say it would be a wonderful forever family home.

Attracting more than 77,000 online views between them, the top ten properties continued a trend seen by the portal in the last few months, of houses being overwhelmingly in demand with property seekers over flats.

Seven of the properties that made the list were houses, and of the three flats included, two of them offered three bedrooms or more, making just one property on the list a typical ‘first-time buyer’ option.

In fact, eight of the ten properties offered three or more bedrooms, with two offering as many as six bedrooms: this signals huge interest in the market from family buyers and so-called ‘second steppers’ currently, perhaps looking for a move to that dream home before the festive season.

Edinburgh attracted the most attention from househunters in August, with five of the properties located in the capital. This was followed by three East Lothian homes, and one property each for Midlothian and West Fife & Kinross.
