Description
158 High Street in Kirkcaldy is an early 19th century, three-storey, four-bay tenement building that has been altered at the ground level to accommodate a shop. The exterior features painted ashlar with stone cills and roughly coursed rubble, topped with an eaves course.
On the north elevation facing High Street, there is a modern shop with a central door at ground level, flanked by four windows on each of the upper floors. The south elevation includes a two-storey gabled projection where the ground floor openings have been blocked, with windows on the first floor to the right and left. Behind this is a three-storey wing with a platform roof, featuring a window on the left side at the third floor and decorative cast-iron railings along the wallhead that flanks the central stack. There are recessed bays on either side with windows on the second and third floors.
The building has plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows, with top-opening windows at the rear. The roof is covered with grey slates, while the rear projection has pantiles. The chimneys are capped with ashlar, and there are ashlar-coped skews. A cast-iron downpipe with a decorative hopper is located on the north side.
