23 Whytehouse Avenue, Kirkcaldy

23 Whytehouse Avenue in Kirkcaldy is an early 20th-century, two-storey, three-bay villa featuring a timber porch. The building is constructed from squared and snecked rubble, with a base course, a dividing cornice for the canted east bays, and a cavetto eaves cornice. The openings include segmental and round-headed designs, with chamfered arrises and stone mullions.

The principal elevation is symmetrical, with a central bay that has a piended and slated porch. This porch is flanked by banded piers with moulded brackets and features four-pane coloured glass lights and pendant finials. The doorway is segmental-headed and moulded, with a deep-set panelled timber door, a plate glass fanlight, and flanking round-headed narrow lights. There is also a delicate cast-iron railing adjoining the porch and the cill of a round-headed bipartite window above. The flanking bays contain polygonal-roofed, segmental-headed, canted tripartite windows.

On the southeast elevation, there is a greenhouse to the outer right at ground level, a window to the outer left, and regular fenestration on the first floor. The northeast elevation, facing George Street, has asymmetrical fenestration with a lower bay to the outer right. The west elevation is also asymmetrical, featuring a lower advanced and piended bay to the left, steps leading up to a modern door at the centre, and two piended tripartite dormer windows.

The villa has timber sash and case windows with a four-pane pattern and plate glass glazing. It is topped with grey slates and has cavetto coped, shouldered wallhead ashlar stacks with polygonal cans, as well as cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers.

The interior was not seen in 1996.

The property includes a small canted Edwardian greenhouse with an ashlar plinth and deep base course, featuring a three-pane glazing pattern in fixed timber frames below a coloured glass frieze with lozenge astragals. The greenhouse has a glazed roof with a decorative cast-iron rail at the apex.

Boundary walls consist of low saddleback-coped and high semicircular-coped rubble structures.
