17 Craigkennochie Terrace, Burntisland

This is a row of early 19th century houses with later 19th century additions and minor 20th century alterations. It comprises a two-storey-and-attic, nine-bay block of dwellings, with a basement level. Cast-iron balconettes are a prominent feature. The front elevation is built of channelled ashlar with contrasting voussoirs, polished and dressed ashlar elsewhere, and squared and snecked rubble to the sides and rear. Long and short quoins, a band course, a part string course, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course are also present, along with architraved window and door surrounds, and stone mullions.

The south-facing (entrance) elevation is symmetrical. Numbers 15 and 17 are centrally positioned within the original three-bay block. A prominent doorcase features three engaged Doric columns supporting a partially glazed tympanum, with an urn at the centre, and the name 'Craigkennochie' inscribed in the band course above. A stone path with central and side cast-iron railings leads to a recessed centre bay, containing a double doorway with columned surrounds, panelled doors, and a unifying plate glass segmental fanlight with a central urn. Windows flank the bays, above basement windows set in round-arched panels. The first floor has a central window over a fielded panel, and windows in the flanking bays, each with decorative cast-iron balconies. Two 19th century piended dormers are visible over the outer bays.

Numbers 9, 11 and 12 are slightly forward in alignment. Number 11 has a timber door with a plate glass fanlight in the centre, a window on the right side, and a canted window in an advanced bay to the left. The first floor has regular window placement and a finialled gable above the left bay.

Numbers 19, 21 and 23 are also slightly advanced, with a central doorway altered to accommodate two doors and plate glass fanlights. A canted window is in the advanced bay to the right, and a window to the left. The first floor windows are regularly placed, with a finialled gable above the right bay.

The north-facing elevation presents an irregular fenestration pattern, with a flat-roofed, corbelled timber oriel window in the outer right bay at the first floor.

Most of the windows are timber sash and case, with 4-, 12-, and 15-pane glazing; modern top-opening plate glass glazing is found at numbers 19 and 21. The roof is covered with grey slates. The building features broad coped ashlar stacks topped with polygonal and moulded cans, coped ashlar skews and cushion finials.

The interior of number 11 displays decorative plasterwork cornicing and working shutters; the interiors of the other properties were not inspected.

Low, saddleback coped rubble boundary walls are complemented by decorative cast-iron railing, a gate, and a gas lamp stanchion.
