Built for Charles Heggie, linen manufacturer, by a Kirkcaldy architect who designed a similar, but larger, house in Boglily Road. The present owner purchased the house in 1981 from the Heggie family who passed on a photograph showing the family sitting in the original porch advanced beyond the present with 4 columns on terrace dies supporting entablatured canopy and with balustraded sections flanking central opening. The 'bungalow' form was avant-garde, a type more common from 1920s and 30s.
