Description

44 Main Street in Newhaven, Edinburgh, is a two-storey, two-bay rectangular-plan house built between 1883 and 1884 by William Flockhart. Originally serving as St. Andrew's vestry, it is part of a terrace and features stugged yellow sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, long and short quoins, and chamfered reveals around its openings. The building has base and string courses, with depressed ogee arches on the ground floor openings and a crowstepped gable. To the right, there is a rendered and whitewashed extension.

On the south elevation, there is a replacement timber panelled door located in the bay to the left of centre, with a modern glass fanlight above it. To the right of the doorway is a bipartite window featuring a stone mullion and transom. The first floor has a tripartite window with a stugged relieving arch above it. A gun-loop opening is set in the gablehead, and the later rendered addition is blank.

The ground floor has plate glass timber windows, while the first floor features two-pane timber sash and case windows with the top panels blinded. The roof is covered with grey slate and has decorative red pantile skews. An octagonal iron light fitting is positioned to the right of the entry.
