Description

3 Kirk Cottages in Aberdour is a row of four nearly identical, 18th-century houses, each with later alterations. They are two stories high with a rectangular plan and feature a single-storey extension at the rear. The cottages have rendered walls with painted stone margins around the openings.

On the south elevation, the arrangement of the houses is symmetrical, with a central door leading to a timber and glazed porch, flanked by windows. Above, there are three first-floor windows aligned with the ground floor openings. The west elevation has a ground floor window to the right of No 4. The north elevation shows a near identical arrangement but is asymmetrical, with a door on the right and an off-centre left extension at ground level. The first floor has varied window placements. The east elevation features a bowed plain gable wall for No 1.

The cottages predominantly have two-leaf timber doors with glazing in the porches. The south elevation mainly features four-pane timber sash and case windows, while No 3 has a tilt and turn plate glass window. The rear windows exhibit varied glazing, including two small, two-pane timber casement windows on the first floor of No 1. The roofs are pitched, covered with modern clay pantiles, while the rear extensions have piended slate roofs. No 1 has a raised curved pantiled skew on the east elevation, and Nos 3 and 4 have raised coped skews on their respective east and west elevations. There are coped, exposed stone gable apex stacks between Nos 1 and 2 and between Nos 3 and 4, along with rendered, coped gable apex stacks on the outer east and west elevations and on the east elevation of No 3, featuring circular clay cans and thackstanes.
