Description

Early 19th century. 2-storey, 3-bay plain classical house with single bay, 2-storey addition to right (circa 1820). Originally symmetrical, rectangular plan. Coursed rubble cream sandstone; raised polished margins; raised long and short quoins; continuous string course. Columned doorpiece to centre; stugged voussoirs to arch over coach house in bay to outer right.

W (ENTRANCE) ELEVATION: central doorway with original decorative fanlight above. Surrounding 3/4 engaged Doric columned doorpiece with plain frieze and entablature. Single windows in all bays at first floor; tripartite windows flank doorway at ground. 2-leaf timber door to coach house in bay to outer right (extends through depth of house).

4-pane timber sash and case windows. Piended grey slate roof to original house and addition; rendered apex stack to W; corniced stone wallhead stack to E.

INTERIOR: original fireplaces, doors, cornices and shutters throughout. Walls recently stripped back to plaster; stairs to rear being restored to the original. Harbour master?s office (now a dining room) and servants? quarters (now kitchen, shower-room and bedroom) to ground floor; drawing room and further bedrooms above. Office safe now cupboard in dining room.

BOUNDARY WALL AND GATEPIERS: coped rubble wall to Newhaven Road. Polished ashlar piers flank driveway; projecting cornices; square caps. Wall to Dudley Crescent has clear delineations of brick and stone.

Statement of Special Interest

Originally adjacent to the Williamfield Estate (later developed as the Dudley Estate), the 1855 map refers to this house as "Rosebank". Built as a residence for the Harbour Master (a clear view could be had towards the sea before the development of the surrounding estate), flagpoles used to stand in the front garden. Thought to have been built upon older foundations, the wall to the Dudley Crescent boundary displays distinct layers of stone and brick - evidence of its being added to with time. Archaeological inquiries have revealed remains of the original stable track running E from the rear of the coach house. Now (1996) back in the ownership of its original family, removal of previous additions and careful restoration have ensured that the building remains true to its original form. Double feued, it encompasses No 190 and 192.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
