14 Boglily Road, Kirkcaldy

This is a large, two-storey house built in the earlier 20th century. It has four bays and is characterised by prominent curvilinear gables. The exterior is primarily red brick with contrasting harl plastering, and features a mutuled eaves cornice. The ground floor on the south and east sides is brick, while the first floor is jettied and plastered. Architectural details include a lugged and architraved doorcase with a stepped keystone, keystoned Venetian windows, corbelled red brick stacks, and stone mullions.

The south (principal) elevation is symmetrical. The central bays are recessed and contain a round-headed doorway with a part-glazed door and a fanlight flanked by windows. A full-width lean-to glass canopy, supported by corbelled brackets, extends above, and tripartite windows are located close to the eaves on the first floor. The outer bays feature advanced curvilinear gables with quadripartite windows on the ground floor and Venetian windows on the first floor.

The east (entrance) elevation is asymmetrical and four bays wide, with bays grouped to the right. It includes steps leading to a canted and corniced porch supported by two fluted columns; a recessed, architraved doorcase with a two-leaf horizontally panelled timber door. A massive brick flue steps over the eaves to a chimney stack with a first-floor window. A canted brick bay breaks the eaves to a flat roof and embraces the angle to the outer right, incorporating windows to the north-east face on the ground floor and to all three faces on the first floor. A small further window is located on the ground floor to the left.

The north elevation is asymmetrical, with harled plastering and includes a flat-roofed quadripartite canted window on the ground floor left, and a swept-roof, two-light, half-timbered oriel supported on curvilinear brackets to the right. The west elevation is symmetrical, with fenestration grouped to the centre and including a canted bay.

Multi-pane leaded glass is used in the timber casement windows. The roof is covered in red tiles and ridge tiles. The chimney stacks are cavetto-coped brick with cans, and the gable skewes are ashlar-coped. Cast-iron downpipes and a decorative rainwater hopper are located on the north side.

The interior was not inspected in 1997.

The property is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls with squared rubble gatepiers and original timber gates.
