Description
Cockburn House is a largely 18th-century classical house, with a rear extension added in 1972. It is two storeys and an attic in height, and originally comprised three bays. The main facade is constructed of ashlar, with rusticated pilaster quoins, rosettes, and fluted decoration to the frieze. The sides are finished with harl on the south side and dry-dash on the east. A moulded eaves cornice runs along the top of the building, and there is a base course at the bottom. The front features a Roman Doric-columned doorpiece with splayed jambs.
The west (principal) elevation has a modern timber door with a large plate glass fanlight in the centre at ground level, with windows in the flanking bays. The first floor has regular window placement, and a wallhead pediment sits above the centre bay. Small, slate-hung, piended dormer windows are set into the outer bays of the roof.
The east elevation features a full-height stair tower with a window on each floor and in the attic at the centre. To the left of the tower is a window on each floor, and to the right is an extended bay with a ground floor door and window, and two windows on the first floor.
The north (Cupar Road) elevation includes a bridge that connects the raised street level to a door on the left and a window on the right at first floor level. The south elevation has a blocked window on the left side at first floor level.
Most of the windows are hardwood sash and case windows with a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with graded grey slates. The chimneys are constructed of ashlar and have ashlar-coped skews with square skewputts.
The property is enclosed by flat-coped rubble boundary walls with dome-coped, square-section ashlar gatepiers.
Cockburn House retains many original, fine architectural details.
