Description

8 Bank Street in Inverkeithing is an early 19th-century, two-storey, five-bay rectangular-plan tenement, which may have originally served as stables. The building features coursed squared and random rubble on the west (street front) side, while the east (rear) and south sides are roughcast. It has long and short stugged dressings and stone cills.

The west elevation showcases squared rubble on the left-hand bay, which may be of an earlier date, with a door and a first-floor window positioned close to the end wall. To the right, there is a wide segmental-arched pend, and three symmetrical bays on the far right, featuring a central door.

The south elevation presents a plain gable and has a high boundary wall to the right. The east (courtyard) elevation consists of seven bays with irregularly placed later windows and doors, including a box dormer on the left and a window on the right return of the pend.

The north elevation adjoins No 4 Bank Street. The building has nine- and twelve-pane timber sash and case windows, a pitched roof (piended to the south) covered with grey slates, a coped gable head stack to the north, and circular clay cans. The interior has no original features remaining.
