Description
36 Main Street in Aberdour is an 18th-century, two-storey, three-bay rectangular house with a rear outshot. The exterior features harled walls with painted stone surrounds around the openings, and the corners have projecting long and short quoins that stop at shoulder height, with a chamfered section at the northern corner. The eaves have a moulded cavetto cornice, and there is a curb stone to the north.
The northwest elevation is symmetrical, featuring a central doorpiece with a Gibbs surround. This doorpiece has flanking imposts linked by an architrave, and a keystone with voussoirs above the entrance, which includes a pulvinated frieze topped by a pediment. There are windows in the first and third bays, with the first-floor windows positioned just below the eaves.
On the southwest elevation, there is a window on the left and a first-floor window above, with 34 High Street attached to this side. The southeast elevation, which is partially visible, shows rear outshots on the ground floor and various windows on the first floor. The northeast elevation has a window on the far right and a first-floor window above it.
The house features a two-leaf timber panelled door and predominantly 12-pane timber sash and case windows, along with a rooflight at the rear. The pitched roof is covered with graded grey slates, and the gables have coped ashlar skews. There is a squat, coped gable apex stack on the northeast and an elongated, corniced gable apex stack on the southwest, both with clay cans.
