Located on a prominent site at the corner of Main Street and Post Office Lane, this house is in a vernacular style that is a traditional feature seen in Fife coastal towns and villages. Once characteristic of local houses, the forestairs seen here are one of the few remaining in the village of North Queensferry. This house was formerly two dwellings and is now converted to one. The ground in the garden rises to the S which is the former site of two stables.
