Description
333 High Street in Kirkcaldy is an early 19th-century tenement that incorporates some 18th-century elements. The building is three stories high with an attic and has an L-shaped plan. It features four bays and is part of an irregular terrace. The exterior is harled with painted cement render on the south side and has stone margins. The rear includes pointed-arch, traceried tripartite windows and stop-chamfered arrises.
On the south elevation facing High Street, there is a pend entrance in the center with shops on either side. The left shop has a deep-set timber door to the right of center, a small window to the right, a large window to the left, a blank timber panel on the outer left, and a panelled base course. The shop on the right has a modern glazed front. Each shop features a traditional fascia with decorative brackets above. The first and second floors have regular fenestration, and there are two piended dormer windows that break the eaves between the bays.
The north elevation has an advanced piended stair tower on the outer left, with a lower gabled extension projecting to the north, likely from the 18th century. There is a pend opening at the center below a broad cantilevered bay, which has a tripartite window on the first and second floors. A bay to the right of center is obscured at ground level by an outbuilding, but it has windows on both floors above and another piended dormer window breaking the eaves.
The windows throughout the building feature a 12-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case style, with tripartite windows having a 10-16-10-pane pattern below the tracery and fixed plate glass in the shop windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped harled stacks with cans, along with a brick stack at the rear also fitted with cans. The front features cast-iron downpipes with a decorative rainwater hopper at the center.
Inside, there is a stone turnpike stair with a timber handrail and plain cornicing. The boundary walls are part-coped random rubble and extend to Hill Place at the rear, featuring stepped sections. Small niches on the southeast and northeast elevations may serve as putlog or weep holes.
