Description

The Manse, located at 4 Kilcruik Road in Kinghorn, is a mid-19th century, two-storey, three-bay former manse designed in a plain classical style, featuring a single-storey wing. The building is constructed of dressed squared rubble with stugged and droved ashlar quoins and stone cills. It has chamfered arrises and stop-chamfered arrises on the porch, along with base and eaves courses.

On the southeast (principal) elevation, the central bay at ground level has a pilastered stone porch with a cavetto cornice and blocking course, a panelled timber door, and a plate glass fanlight to the southwest, with narrow lights to the southeast and northeast. The flanking bays have windows, and there is regular fenestration on the first floor.

The northeast elevation features a single-storey piended wing to the right of the centre, which includes a panelled timber door, a letterbox fanlight, and flanking windows to the southeast. There is a window on the first floor at the outer left, along with two wallhead stacks.

On the southwest elevation, each floor has a window slightly to the right of centre, with an additional window to the outer left at ground level, and two wallhead stacks above.

The northwest elevation has a single-storey garage projecting at ground level, with three windows on the first floor.

The building has a 12-pane glazing pattern in tall narrow timber sash and case windows, a slated piend and platform roof, and coped ashlar stacks with polygonal cans. The eaves are overhanging.

The boundary walls include semicircular-coped quadrants and additional boundary walls. The interior was not seen in 1999.
