Description
132 High Street in Kirkcaldy is a late 18th century building that has undergone later alterations. It is a two-storey, single-bay shop and storerooms, which were originally living accommodations. The exterior is made of rendered rubble with raised stone margins and features a segmental-arched window with a keystone and a rounded storm gable.
On the north elevation facing High Street, there is a glazed and tiled shopfront from the 1980s at ground level, which includes a commemorative plaque on the tiled pier at the outer right. The first floor has a tripartite window from the 1930s that is raised in the center.
The south elevation features a two-storey bow-ended wing that advances to the outer right and includes a gablehead stack. To the left, there is a return with asymmetrical fenestration, where some ground floor windows have been enlarged, and first-floor windows break the eaves in catslide dormers. There is also a single-storey pitch-roofed addition adjoining to the south.
The north elevation has large plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows, while the south elevation has small-pane fixed timber windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is a coped gablehead stack. The interior of the building has been significantly altered.
