Description

Links House is an early 19th century, two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan house located on Kinghorn Road in Burntisland. It is part of a classical terrace and features a Doric columned doorcase with a plain cornice and frieze. The exterior is made of heavily droved ashlar with stone quoins, while the rear is constructed from squared and snecked rubble. It has a base course and eaves cornice, with architraved regular windows, and stop-chamfered arrises and stone mullions on the canted windows.

On the south elevation, there is a deep-set panelled door with a plate glass fanlight at the center, flanked by a full-height canted window to the right and windows to the left on both floors. A cast-iron rooflight is located at the center, accompanied by slate-hung canted dormers. The north elevation features a door slightly to the left of center, with windows in the bays to the right and left. There is a single-storey lean-to extension on the outer right that abuts the neighboring property. A stair window is situated at the center, with two windows to the right on the first floor and another window in the bay to the left of center. A modern rooflight is positioned above.

The interior includes a dog-leg stair with decorative cast-iron balusters and a wooden handrail, along with decorative cornicing and slender colonnettes at the bay window.

Additionally, there is a 19th century polygonal gazebo with a slated roof and pointed window openings, along with low saddleback-coped boundary walls to the south and terrace walls to the north, which are adorned with decorative cast-iron railings. The northern boundary walls are made of coped rubble.
