Description

Easterhill, located on Castlebank Road in Cupar, is a former parsonage built around 1855. This two-storey building features three bays and showcases a simple Gothic architectural style, constructed from squared and snecked tooled sandstone. Notable elements include a base course, some hoodmoulds, decorative carvings, and chamfered openings.

The west elevation has a gabled near-central single bay section topped with a Latin cross. It features a trefoil arched stop-chamfered entrance with a hoodmould, which has carved figureheads representing a 'king' and 'queen' as label stops, and a deeply recessed door. Above the entrance is a slim single light window with a hoodmould. To the right is a gabled single bay section with a fleur-de-lis at its apex, a four-light canted bay at the ground level with carved heads of 'kings' and 'queens' at the angles, and a bipartite pointed arched window with a stone mullion and hoodmould above. On the far left, there is a deeply recessed single bay section with bipartite windows at both the ground and first floors, featuring stone mullions, and a single bay in the re-entrant angle.

The south elevation includes a blank gabled section with a prominent advanced stepped chimney. To the left is a single bay with bipartite windows at the ground and first floors, also with stone mullions. To the right, there is a recessed single-storey one-bay section with a gabled dormer that breaks the eaves, followed by a slightly lower single bay section, and on the far right, a brick piended roof that was once a laundry.

The north elevation features a blank section with a dominant advanced stepped chimney on the right, and to the right of that, two recessed single bay gabled sections that create a double pile roofline.

Most windows are timber sash and case with plate glass and horns, except for the east elevation where lying panes are more common. The west elevation has an original cast-iron downpipe with a hopper, adorned with a stone-carved figurehead carrying a shield with a Latin cross above. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, with fishscale detailing on the canted bay. The entrance boasts an impressive timber studded door with decorative iron hinges and a lock.

Inside, the interior is predominantly plain, featuring some decorative cornices.

The property is also accompanied by simple square gatepiers with pyramidal caps set into bowed sections of a rubble wall with gabled coping on the west side. There is a low rubble coped wall to the east and a high rubble coped wall to the north.
