46 And 48 Townsend Place, Kirkcaldy

46 and 48 Townsend Place in Kirkcaldy is a mid-19th century house featuring later dormers. It is a 2-storey and attic building with a rectangular plan, consisting of three bays and situated on sloping ground that leads down to the south, forming an irregular terrace that extends to the east. The structure is built of coursed rubble with quoin strips and is harled on the sides and rear, with base and eaves courses.

The north (principal) elevation showcases a corniced doorpiece with a deep-set panelled timber door and a plate glass fanlight at the center. There are windows in the flanking bays and a regular arrangement of windows on the first floor. Canted tripartite timber dormer windows, featuring stop-chamfered arrises and finialled bargeboard pediments, flank a modern rooflight at the center.

On the west elevation, there is a broad gabled bay with a window on each floor, alongside a blank flat-roofed bay to the right. The south elevation has steps leading up to a pedimented timber porch at the center, which includes a part-glazed door, a stair window above, and flanking windows on each floor.

The windows are timber sash and case with a 4-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, and it features coped ashlar stacks with cans and thackstanes, as well as ashlar-coped skews. Decorative cast-iron downpipes with rainwater hoppers are also present.

The boundary walls consist of low saddleback-coped ashlar walls to the north, with coped rubble and brick walls elsewhere.
