Southerton Lodge, Beveridge Park, Kirkcaldy

Southerton Lodge, located in Beveridge Park, Kirkcaldy, was designed by J W Hislop in 1891. This single storey and attic lodge house features a two-bay layout and a distinctive French pavilion-roofed tower. The building is constructed from bull-faced, squared, and snecked rubble, accented by contrasting red sandstone ashlar quoins. It has a part eaves course, with chamfered arrises and stone and timber mullions.

On the south elevation, there is a canted tripartite window to the left of the centre at ground level, with a finialled dormer gablehead above that breaks the eaves, featuring a half-timbered, bipartite window. To the right, a lower flat-roofed porch includes a full-width tripartite window beneath a decorative timber and cast-iron balustrade, with a window above on the recessed face of the finialled tower.

The east elevation consists of three bays, with the centre bay having an advanced tripartite window at ground level below a dormer gablehead similar to the south elevation. The left bay features a porch door with a plate glass fanlight and a decorative balustrade to the outer left, along with a window to the right; there is an additional window in the lower bay to the outer right.

On the west elevation, there is an advanced bay to the right with a window at ground level and another window in the dormer gablehead above. The left side has a half-timbered, recessed gable with a bipartite window, a bipartite window in a single storey bay at the re-entrant angle, and a further window on the return to the left.

The north elevation displays asymmetrical fenestration with a stepped roofline and a small dormer-headed window. The upper sashes feature a 4-pane glazing pattern, while the lower sashes have 2-pane and plate glass configurations. The porch has fixed small-pane glazing. The roof is covered with grey slates and decorative terracotta ridge tiles, and there are coped ashlar stacks with cans. The building also features moulded bargeboarding and decorative dormerheads.
