Description
70 High Street in Aberdour is an early 19th century, plain two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan house with a modern addition at the rear. The exterior is constructed from tooled random rubble, featuring long and short surrounds around the openings, painted stone margins, and long and short quoins at the corners.
The southeast elevation is symmetrical, with a centered door flanked by windows. The first-floor windows are positioned close to the eaves and are aligned above the ground floor openings. On the southwest elevation, there is an inserted window on the ground floor to the left. The northwest elevation has an enlarged first-floor window on the right and a modern lean-to structure at ground level to the left. The southeast elevation is attached to 68 High Street.
The house features a modern timber panelled door with a letterbox fanlight and modern top-opening timber windows. It has a pitched slate roof with coped ashlar skews and coped gable apex stacks, with ashlar on the southwest side and rendered on the southeast, along with circular clay cans.
The interior has been modernized.
