Admiral’s House in North Queensferry heading for auction

Admiral’s House in North Queensferry is set to go under the hammer at Shepherd Commercial Property Auctions on Thursday 20 August at 2.30pm, with a guide price of £300,000.

Admirals House comprises a dilapidated B-listed part-single and part two-storey structure.   The property was originally built in 1829 and remodelled around 1916.  The property remained the residence of the Rosyth Naval Commander until 1996, when it was handed over to the Scottish Executive.

Situated in a coastal location on the North Queensferry shoreline, the building sits within extensive grounds and offers considerable redevelopment potential for a number of uses.

The site extends to almost four acres, including an area of the foreshore, and forms a prominent feature to the west of the Queensferry Crossing on a steeply sloping hillside, rising from the north bank of the Forth.  It also benefits from an extensive frontage along the shoreline, offering exceptional views across the Firth of Forth.

A private road with security-gate entrance provides access to the property which is surrounded by mature woodland. There is a radar station located immediately to the east under separate ownership. The site lies close to the eastern boundary of Rosyth Naval Base, and adjacent to the Queensferry Crossing.

Gavin Russell, associate at Shepherds, said: “Every so often a property comes along which is truly unique, and Admirals House is most definitely one of them.

“Sadly, the property has suffered from vandalism over the years; however the combination of the site’s coastal position, sizeable plot and outstanding outlook provides a highly attractive development prospect for someone with real vision, and it will be great to see the building being brought back into use.”
