Description
1-3 High Street in Kinghorn is a late 18th to early 19th century, two-storey, three-bay house that has been converted into a shop on the ground floor. It is part of an irregular terrace and features rendered rubble with architraved surrounds on the first floor, along with a cornice over a dividing frieze.
The northwest elevation facing High Street is symmetrical. It has a modern door with a plate glass fanlight in the centre and left bays at ground level, with a fixed display window to the right. There are three windows on the first floor, topped by a prominent gablehead stack.
The windows on the first floor have plate glass glazing in top-opening timber frames. The roof is covered with slates, and there is a coped harled stack with cans. The skews are ashlar-coped and feature tiny scrolled skewputts. A cast-iron downpipe with a decorative rainwater hopper is also present.
