Description

3 East Fergus Place in Kirkcaldy is a later 19th century, two-storey classical house that was extended to the south and converted into offices in 1974. The building features ashlar stone with coursed rubble and polished ashlar dressings, a deep base course, and a cavetto eaves cornice. The windows are lugged and architraved with stone mullions.

The east elevation, or principal elevation, has a block-pedimented doorcase with fluted Doric columns and a deep-set panelled timber door with a plate glass fanlight located in a bay to the right of centre, with a window above it. There is a slightly advanced bay on the outer right with a bipartite window on each floor, and a canted tripartite window to the left, also on each floor. Each bay is corniced over the ground floor and features a mutule cornice and stepped pediment over the first floor. There are two regular later bays beyond to the left.

The south elevation is largely blank, with a window at the centre of the first floor. The windows throughout the building have 4-pane and plate glass glazing patterns in timber sash and case frames. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are cavetto-coped ashlar stacks. Decorative cast-iron downpipes with rainwater hoppers are also present.

Inside, the building features decorative cornices and a dado rail. There is a screen door leading to the vestibule, a dog-leg staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters and a timber handrail, and a square landing with a bracketed round-arched opening and two circular lanterns.

An outbuilding, possibly a converted stable or gig house, is attached to the north elevation. This rubble outbuilding has ashlar quoins and raised margins, with a corbelled window, which may have been a former hayloft opening, breaking the eaves at the centre.

The boundary walls consist of low ashlar-coped rubble walls to the east and coped rubble walls elsewhere.
