Moncrief House, located on High Street in Falkland, is a two-storey house with a dormerless attic, dating back to 1610 as indicated by the date inscribed on the lintel above the entrance. It is part of a terrace and features a four-bay design. The building is constructed from roughly squared and coursed stone, with moulded openings.

The inscribed panel reads: "AL PRAISE TO GOD AND/THANKIS TO THE MOST/EXCELLENT MONARCHE/GREAT BRITAINE OF WH/OSE PRINCELIE LIBERA/LITIE THIS IS MY POR/TIOVNE: DEO LAVS/ ESTO FIDYS/ADEST MERCES/NICOLL MONCRIEF."
