Seagate House, 40 Nethergate, Kinghorn

Seagate House, located at 40 Nethergate in Kinghorn, is an 18th-century building that underwent alterations and reworking in 1999. It is a tall, two-storey house with an attic and features a three-bay layout, along with an earlier single-storey crow-stepped wing at the rear. The exterior is finished in dry-dash with concrete margins and includes a base course.

On the northeast elevation, the central bay at ground level has a very deep-set six-panelled timber door, with the upper two panels glazed. To the right of the door is a small segmental-headed boot-scraper opening, and there are windows in the flanking bays on both floors.

The southeast elevation features a gable that projects to the right of center, with windows located to the left at ground level, to the right on the first floor, and in the gablehead. There is a lower catslide-roofed bay with a door at ground level and a window above in the re-entrant angle to the left, as well as a bipartite window in a single-storey bay on higher ground to the outer left.

On the southwest elevation, there is a part-glazed timber door to the right of center, accompanied by a small window in the crow-stepped gable above. The northwest elevation, facing St Clair's Entry, has a blank gable to the left of center and a window in a single-storey bay to the right.

The windows are fitted with plate glass glazing in timber sash and case frames, and the roof is covered with concrete pantiles. The dry-dash chimney stacks feature cans and thackstanes, with ashlar-coped skews.

Inside, the interior is modern but retains a traditional timber fireplace with a cast-iron register grate.
