Description

Victoria Cottage is a mid to later 19th century, two-storey house with a part basement, situated on Lammerlaws Road in Burntisland. It features a four-bay, T-plan design with Tudor gables, constructed from stugged ashlar stone, accented by droved quoins and margins, a base course, and an eaves course. The house includes hoodmoulds with label-stops, stone mullions, and deeply chamfered arrises.

The west elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a stepped front with a small projecting gable to the right of center. It features windows on both floors, and a panelled door to the left under a small window. There is a large projecting gable on the outer right with windows on both floors, while the left side has a lower roofline with a gabled stone dormer, windows on the ground floor and in the gablet, and a window in a single-storey bay on the outer left.

On the east elevation, there is an advanced gable to the left with a canted window at ground level and a window above. A single-storey recessed wall to the right has two windows, and there is another window to the left, possibly for a stair, close to the eaves. This elevation is above a basement that is obscured.

The north elevation features a bipartite window at ground level with a single window above it. The south elevation has a centrally offset and shouldered full-height stack, with windows in the flanking bays.

The principal elevation and the north side have 12-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows, while the east side has three modern enlarged plate glass windows on the right. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are grouped stacks with flat ashlar coping, some of which are grooved between the flues. The ashlar coped skews have cushion skewputts and square finials, with pyramidal finials that correspond to the now-gone Albert Cottage.

The boundary and terrace walls include low coped ashlar walls to the west, and random rubble walls with semi-circular coping to the north and south. An ashlar pier with pyramidal capping is present, along with a terrace wall facing the sea that has a pedestrian gate. There is also a stone lean-to at sea level, bricked on the south side.
