Description

68 High Street in Aberdour is a 2-storey, 3-bay rectangular-plan house dating from around 1690, with later modifications and modern extensions at the rear. The exterior features rendered walls with painted stone margins around the openings and a spur stone on the far left.

The southeast elevation is nearly symmetrical, with a central door flanked by windows. The first-floor windows align closely above the openings below, near the eaves.

The southwest elevation is attached to 70 High Street, while the northwest (rear) elevation has been altered. It includes a modern 2-storey outshot on the off-centre left, featuring a door at ground level and a window above, as well as a single-storey flat-roofed outshot to the ground left. Original windows can be found on the first floor of the first bay and on both floors of the third bay. A steep bank rises away from this elevation, with stone steps that have an inscription on the riser reading 'AB21'.

The northeast elevation is attached to 62-66 High Street. It has a modern timber door and predominantly features 12-pane sash and case windows. The pitched roof is covered with modern pantiles and has a slate easing course at the eaves. The roof is capped with a coped ashlar skew and an ashlar gable apex stack with circular clay cans on the southwest side. The roof and stack on the northeast side are truncated by the gable of 62-64 High Street.

Inside, there is a rear twin-leaf timber hall door with 18th-century hinges and locks. The first-floor bedroom to the southwest has fluted pilasters in a box bed recess, a hinged timber panelled folding door, and a dado rail within the recess. A boxroom leads from the southwest bedroom to the northwest bedroom, featuring a door with a decorative 18th-century cam sprung loaded shib. The northeast bedroom has a decorative cornice and remnants of wainscoting.
