Whilst searching the internet for derelict places in Fife I found the geograph.org site, this featured a picture of the shell of a house by the name of Seafield House, so doing a bit of research I found where it was on Multimaps & paid it a visit.
The house sits at the end of a modern build flat pack estate overlooking the Forth, work seems to have stopped on the project as the cement mixer was axle deep in mud!
The front of the house:
The porch light appears to be broken!
Not the greatest of shots but shows the proximity to the modern builds:
Around the back of the house:
Whooa, shake your foundations!
The other side of the house, which has great views of a recently constructed foundation wall, but would've overlooked trees:
Playschool anyone:
Below the square window were a few more modern looking bricks which were locally produced:
A pair of fireplaces on the upper level:
To one side of the property was a really weird tiny cellar area, this picture was taken from the cellar floor, looking up to the second floor:
In the cellar there were these 2 odd square stones which featured a series of pock marks, no idea what they were for:
Coming back up from the cellar, after stooping through the tiny door I took a picture of the steps, which has some ironwork in place indicating that there was once a cellar door:
Taken through the small window into the cellar area:
Sadly it is a target for the local chavs, with it being subject to graffiti & in the upper window frames a bit of fire damage:
Couldn't agree more!!
Views from outside:
I've spotted your drainage problem!
Wired!
I did knock but got no response!
View from inside:
Fireplace:
Wierdly, there was a ladder left inside!
The cellar door:
Wonder what's on TV!?
Remainder of the roof, or ceiling?
Whilst I was looking around the site a car drove towards the fence so I ducked back around the side for a minute & when I looked around there were 2 women in their 40s coming through a gap in the fence, so I walked towards them & as I did I took a few more picture of the house. One asked me why I was taking pics so I told her that one of my hobbies was taking pictures of derelict buildings, she seemed ok with that & then went to have a wander around the house herself after telling me that she likes to go down to look at it too, we all then went on our way
