Description

6-7 Livingstone Lane in Aberdour is an early 18th century, two-storey, four-bay house with a rectangular plan, featuring a workshop on the ground floor. The exterior is rendered, with painted stone surrounds on the openings and moulded surrounds at the ground floor. The rear is constructed of random rubble with slaister pointing.

The northeast elevation is asymmetrical and includes a forestair with a moulded stone rail that extends from the ground to the first floor. There is a small centered understair door at the ground level, and a small lean-to attached to the left side, which has a door on the left return and a window on the right that is flush with the rising forestair. There are doorways at both the far right and far left. At the first floor, a centered door breaks the eaves, flanked by windows that are close to the eaves.

The southeast elevation is attached to 5 Livingston Lane, while the southwest elevation features three regularly spaced windows near the ground and first-floor windows centered above close to the eaves. The northwest elevation is attached to 8 Livingston Lane.

The interior of the ground floor is not visible, as it was modernized in 2002. The first floor has timber boarded doors and four-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is pitched and covered with clay pantiles, featuring raised coped skews, moulded skewputts, coped gable apex stacks, and replacement polygonal cans.
