38 Milton Road, Kirkcaldy

34 Milton Road in Kirkcaldy is a single-storey villa with an attic, built in 1895, and part of a terrace of four gabled and turreted villas. The exterior features irregular-sized, bull-faced, squared rubble with polished ashlar long and short quoins, and the rear of No 32 has dry-dash finish.

The building has a base course and cornices, with blocking courses above the canted windows. Notable architectural details include roll-moulded doorways, corbels, stop-chamfered arrises, and stone mullions.

The north elevation is seven bays wide, featuring a pend entrance with a modern door at the center, below a datestone and a finialled gablet. The flanking bays have tripartite windows with narrow outer lights, and above them are turret-roofed canted tripartite windows that break the eaves. To the right and left, there are paired panelled timber doors with plate glass fanlights and bipartite catslide dormer windows above. The dominant finialled gables have canted tripartite windows below bipartite windows in the outer bays.

The south elevation displays symmetrical fenestration, with two-storey outer bays that include clasping single-storey offices and catslide dormer windows.

The east elevation, which is No 32, has a boundary wall on the right and a window at the center on the ground floor.

The west elevation, which is No 38, has a boundary wall on the left, a window at the center on the ground floor, and two additional windows in the gablehead.

The windows throughout feature 2-pane and plate glass glazing patterns in timber sash and case style, except for some ground floor south windows and modern glazing in No 32. The roofs are covered with grey slates, arranged in a fish-scale pattern on the turrets. The building has coped ashlar ridge stacks with cans, deeply overhanging eaves with decorative bargeboarding and exposed rafters, and decorative cast-iron finials.

Inside No 32, there are decorative cornicing and a ceiling rose, along with a timber fireplace. The hall features a screen door with a carved panel, a consoled arch, and ball-finialled newel posts leading to a timber dog-leg stair. No 34 has a decorative ceiling rose and plain cornicing, with a timber balustered dog-leg staircase. Nos 36 and 38 were not seen in 1996.

The boundary walls consist of low saddleback-coped walls to the north and coped rubble walls elsewhere.
