West Station House is a former railway house which formed part of the Newport Railway branch, which opened in May 1879 (from Tayport to Wormit) and closed May 1969.
The Title Deeds suggest that (British) Railways sold the property off in 1974.

The trail is popular with walkers, runners, dog owners, countryside and wildlife lovers, families, sky and star gazers, railway enthusiasts.
The popular village of Newport-on-Tay is conveniently located for the commuter and benefits from a wealth of local amenities including shops, restaurants and schooling.
The village is well positioned for access to Dundee, Cupar and St Andrews, with Perth, Aberdeen and Edinburgh also within comfortable driving distance.
Cupar, Fife’s bustling market town, lies a nine mile drive to the south and offers a good range of shops and services as well as a popular monthly farmers’ market whilst the ancient and historic town of St Andrews, globally acclaimed as the Home of Golf lies about eleven miles to the south-east.
The thriving city of Dundee is less than five miles to the north over the Tay Bridge with a full range of city shops and amenities as well as the new V&A museum and Captain Scott’s ship RRS Discovery. North-East Fife provides access to an area of particularly outstanding and varied countryside with hill, wood, river, farmland and wonderful coastline.
As a result there are a wide range of outdoor activities on hand with walking, cycling, sailing and riding all readily available.
It is perhaps golf for which Fife is most well-known however with numerous top quality courses in a comparatively small area including the world renowned Old Course at St Andrews which regularly hosts the Open Championship, next due to visit in 2021 for its 150th anniversary.
There are good state primary and secondary schools in the area with independent schooling on hand at St. Leonards in St Andrews and the High School of Dundee.
