Description
Newgate House, located on Low Causeway in Culross, is a two-storey, four-bay L-plan house built in 1746, with a later rear extension. The exterior features exposed ashlar margins and harling.
On the south elevation, there are four ground floor windows, with a noticeable gap between the first and second bays. The second window has a carved lintel that was originally a door, inscribed with 'IS CM 1746'.
The west elevation has a plain gable wall. The north elevation includes a window that was once a door near the center, with inserted glazed doors to the right and a first-floor window above to the left. There is an advanced extension to the left, featuring two windows on the north side and a door and window on the right return.
The east elevation has a first-floor window to the left. The house predominantly features 12-pane timber sash and case windows, with shutter rebates for the two right ground floor windows on the south elevation. The doors have been replaced. The roofs are pitched and covered with clay tiles, and there are scroll skewputts, gable apex stacks, and polygonal cans.
The interior was not seen in 2001.
