Description
2, 4, 6 High Street in Kinghorn is an early 19th-century, two-storey and attic, four-bay house that includes shops on the ground floor. The building is constructed of rubble with stone margins and quoin strips, featuring a cornice at the ground floor.
On the southeast elevation facing High Street, there is a shop located in the bay to the left of the center, which has an in-canted two-leaf part-glazed timber door and flanking display windows. To the right of the center, there is a door with a plate glass fanlight, followed by a fixed display window and another timber door with a plate glass fanlight on the outer right. The first floor has four windows, with a nepus gable situated in the center above.
The southwest elevation features a gabled design with a window located at the outer right on the first floor. The building has a 12-pane glazing pattern in the timber sash and case window at the nepus, while plate glass glazing is used in the top-opening timber windows elsewhere. The roof is covered with graded slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with thackstanes, ashlar-coped skews, and cast-iron downpipes that have decorative rainwater hoppers.
Additionally, there are flat-coped, square-section, ashlar gatepiers.
