50 Townsend Place, Kirkcaldy

50 Townsend Place in Kirkcaldy is a later 19th century house, possibly incorporating earlier elements. It is a two-storey, three-bay, T-plan structure situated on sloping ground and forms part of an irregular terrace. The building is constructed from squared and snecked rubble, featuring long and short quoins and ashlar dressings. It has base and first-floor cill courses, as well as an eaves cornice. The window heads are block-pedimented, with stone mullions and stop-chamfered arrises.

The north (principal) elevation features a flight of steps with decorative cast-iron railings on the left, leading to a corniced doorcase that contains a panelled timber door and a plate glass fanlight at the center. Above this door, there is a window, and to the right, there are bipartite windows on each floor. The left bay is slightly advanced and includes a corniced bipartite window on each floor, with an additional window on the return to the right at the first floor.

The south elevation displays symmetrical fenestration, including a bipartite window in the advanced bay to the right on the first floor. The windows have 4-pane and plate glass glazing patterns in timber sash and case frames. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are cavetto-coped ashlar stacks with cans and ashlar-coped skews.

The property is enclosed by low saddleback-coped boundary walls to the north and coped rubble boundary walls to the south, complemented by decorative cast-iron railings.
