Description
24 High Street in Kinghorn is an 18th-century, three-storey tenement that has been altered in the late 20th century. It has a rectangular plan and is part of an irregular terrace to the northeast. The building is harled with stone margins and features a moulded eaves course.
The southeast elevation facing High Street has five regularly spaced windows on each floor, along with two small modern rooflights. The northwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, has four bays with a door located to the right of centre at ground level, and regular fenestration on the floors above. The southwest elevation, facing Castle Wynd, has a gabled design with a window to the left of centre on each floor.
The windows are timber sash and case with a 12-pane glazing pattern, and the roof is slated. The building also has harled stacks and ashlar-coped skews.
