Description

1-5 Cuinzie Neuk in Kinghorn is a two-storey and attic tenement building dating from around 1900. It features a two-bay design and is situated on a corner site, constructed with red brick and dry-dash at the ground level, while the first floor showcases a black-and-white mock half-timbered style, topped by a steep wallhead attic.

On the northwest elevation, which faces Cuinzie Neuk, there is a bay to the left of center at the ground level that includes a door with a plate glass fanlight above it, along with another door to the outer left and a fixed display window to the right. The first floor has two windows, and there is a dormer gablet above, breaking the eaves to the right, with an additional dormer window in a swept mansard to the left.

The north elevation, which is the corner side, features a window at the ground floor with a bipartite window above it, and a steeply-pitched dormer gablet that breaks the eaves at the attic level.

On the northeast elevation, facing Tron Gate, there is a single window at both the ground and first floors, along with a dormer window to the left and a prominent stack to the right in the swept mansard above.

The building has timber sash and case windows, with an 8-pane upper sash over a 2-pane lower glazing pattern at the ground and first floors. The attic features small-pane glazing with a casement window to the northwest right, a timber sash and case window to the northeast, and a modern pivot window elsewhere. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are dry-dash and brick stacks with cans, along with swept projecting eaves.
