The main room on the top floor (the fourth bedroom) has a very large floor area. However, the ceiling is coombed and the main ceiling height is below seven feet. It is a very useful room and houses a train set, a hi-fi, computer, and a double sofabed for guests. This room has an original fireplace which is a single piece of cast iron. Access to the eaves front and rear is through small doors. There is a dormer window to the front with great views over the Forth Estuary and towards Edinburgh. This room had clearly not been used for decades and the wallpaper was peeling off and was removed before I had a chance to get my camera out. The old distemper seemed to adhere to the wallpaper better than to the wall. Originally the room would have been a sitting room and bedroom for house staff. Many of the old bell cables terminated in this room, presumably so that the servants could be called easily.
