Description
Harbour House, located on Hot Pot Wynd in Dysart, is an 18th century or earlier, two-storey house with a basement and a rectangular plan, situated on sloping ground towards the southeast. The building is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar quoins and stone margins, featuring segmental-headed openings in the basement.
The northeast elevation is symmetrical, with a forestair leading to a panelled timber door (which has been altered) that is topped by a plate glass fanlight, located in the bay to the left of the center. There are windows in the flanking bays, a window beyond to the right, and a two-leaf panelled timber door with a small-pane fanlight in the penultimate bay to the right, with another window to the outer right. Above, the first floor has four smaller windows aligned over the ground floor windows.
On the southwest elevation, which faces the harbour, there is a raised basement with wide openings flanking the center and windows in the outer bays, all of which are blocked. At ground level, there is a boarded timber door in the center, with two windows to the right and left at both the ground and first floors.
The southeast elevation features a gabled design with a window to the left at a high ground floor level and a boarded timber door in the center above, along with a broad gablehead stack. The northwest elevation has a boarded timber door in the center at the first floor and a broad gablehead stack.
The windows are timber sash and case with a 12-pane glazing pattern, and the roof is covered with traditional pantiles. The building also features coped ashlar stacks and ashlar-coped skews.
