The property is located at the centre of a row of three similar houses on sloping ground at Collessie Brae, to the south of Collessie Kirk, Collessie, Fife.

Statement of Interest

2 Braehead is a representative example of a traditional house that retains its historic character and setting in the centre of the village of Collessie. This property had a thatched roof until around 1978. It shares its unusual split-level character with the adjoining buildings to either side (both listed separately, LB154 and LB2471).
