New Club, 152 High Street, Kirkcaldy

The New Club, located at 152 High Street in Kirkcaldy, dates from around 1830, with a new billiard room added by Barnet Wyllis in 1919 and alterations made in 1927. This classical building is 2 and 3 stories tall, features a cellar, and has a platform roof. It is constructed of polished ashlar stone and includes base and first floor cill courses, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The windows are architraved.

On the north elevation, steps with low flanking walls lead up to a portico that has a two-leaf panelled timber door and a four-pane fanlight. There are windows in the flanking bays, with the left window positioned above a two-leaf cellar door, and an additional window in a recessed flat-roofed extension to the outer left. The first floor has regular fenestration.

The south elevation features a piend-roofed brick building adjoining at ground level, with a window in the center of the first floor and another window in the bay to the right, plus three additional windows on the second floor.

The east elevation is mostly blank, with a window located to the right of center on the second floor.

The building has plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows, and is covered with grey slates. The chimney stacks are cavetto coped ashlar with polygonal cans, and the skews are ashlar-coped.

Inside, there is decorative plasterwork cornicing and ceiling roses. The ground floor has steel-lined shutters, and the vestibule features a mosaic pattern floor with a broad panelled door to the left, likely leading to a former banking hall. The inner hall includes a corniced and pilastered doorcase with a decorative astragalled two-leaf door. A stone staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters and a timber handrail leads up, with colored, margined, and etched stair windows. The first floor has a segmental-headed doorway, a decorative marble fireplace, and panelled shutters. The billiard room at the rear features a timber dado, picture rails, a decorative fireplace, and small-pane windows with colored glass in Art Nouveau detail.

The property is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls.
