Mitchell Hall, Main Street, Kinglassie

The caretaker's house, built in 1896-9 by Robert Little, is a single-storey building with an attic and basement, situated on a sloping ground to the north. It forms part of Mitchell Hall on Main Street, Kinglassie. The principal facade is constructed from dressed, squared, and coursed whinstone, with squared and snecked rubble on the sides and rear, and contrasting droved and polished sandstone dressings. A deep, chamfered base course, string course, and moulded eaves cornice are prominent features.

The south elevation, which is the main entrance front, is symmetrical and features basket-arched windows. A slightly advanced crowstepped gable is at the centre, incorporating a moulded doorcase with flanking columns on field-panelled pedestals. The doorcase has a keystoned and corniced design with carved floreate and monogrammed spandrels below ball finialled dies (one left finial is missing). A segmental-headed carved panel stating "MITCHELL HALL ERECTED 1896" is positioned above the entrance. A two-leaf panelled timber door is accompanied by a three-part segmental fanlight, with narrow transomed windows to the sides, below the string course. Bipartite windows are located in the gablehead, with crowstepped dormerheads breaking the eaves in the flanking bays. Transomed and mullioned bipartite windows are also present.

The north elevation is five-bay, with the three centre bays projecting. It includes a timber-louvred vent in a gambrel roof. A boarded timber door is located to the right of centre at ground level, with a window to the left partly obscured by a stone forestair leading to a two-leaf boarded door at the first floor. Recessed bays to the left have a boarded door at ground level, while the bay to the right is blank.

The west and east elevations feature crowstepped gables and recessed centre bays with a variety of architectural elements.

The windows are mostly small-pane timber sash and case windows, many of which are broken. They include top-opening timber windows, and are fitted with graded grey slates. Coped ashlar stacks, complete with cans, are present, alongside ashlar coped skews with decorative beak skewputts and cast-iron downpipes with decorative hoppers and air vents.

The caretaker’s house itself is a single-storey, three-bay dwelling with crowstepped dormerheaded windows flanking the entrance door on the south side (one advanced). Gablehead stacks are visible on the east and west sides.

The property is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls, which are low and semicircular-coped to the south.
