Description

Trinidad is a late 19th-century single-storey and attic cottage located at 159 High Street in Lower Methil. It is part of an irregular terrace and features whitewashed rubble with stone margins and quoins.

The southeast elevation is symmetrical, with a slightly advanced central bay that has a deep-set panelled timber door and a plate glass fanlight above a small round-headed window in a nepus gable. There are windows in the flanking bays.

On the northwest elevation, there is a low piended projection with irregular window placement in the centre, a window to the right, and a small lean-to in the left bay. The cottage has timber casement windows with decorative astragals on the round-headed window, while the other windows are top-opening timber. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there is a coped rubble stack with a can.

Additionally, there is a low coped rubble boundary wall on the southeast side.
