Description
Fergus House, located at 7 East Fergus Place in Kirkcaldy, is a two-storey house built in the later part of the 19th century. The structure features ashlar stone with long and short quoins, along with stugged squared and snecked rubble and large coursed rubble. It has base and dividing courses, round-headed and architraved openings, and stone mullions with hoodmoulds.
On the east elevation, there is a gabled bay to the right that has a slightly advanced round-headed bipartite window with flanking pilasters at the ground level. Above this is a cornice and blocking course, leading to a first floor with a round-headed tripartite window and a stepped hoodmould that incorporates a blank shield. To the left is a recessed bay featuring a canted tripartite window at the ground level, with a cornice and stepped blocking course above, along with two windows on the first floor.
The south elevation, which serves as the entrance, includes a stone porch with an eaves cornice and a projecting blocking course at the center. This porch has three round-headed windows arranged in a 2-1 grouping, along with a round-headed doorway that features a deep-set panelled timber door and a semicircular plate glass fanlight to the right. There is a small lean-to extension with a window on the left side of the porch.
The north elevation has a lean-to wing at the ground level with a window in the center and a bipartite window to the right at the first floor. The west elevation displays symmetrical fenestration and includes a single-storey flat-roofed extension to the right.
The windows throughout the house are timber sash and case with 4-pane and plate glass glazing patterns. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are cavetto-coped paired ashlar stacks with polygonal cans, along with deeply overhanging eaves.
Inside, the ground floor east room features a decorative cornice and frieze, encaustic tiles, and a wide arch with panelled soffits in the hall.
The property is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls.
