Description
The Star Tavern, located at 71-73 High Street in Burntisland, is an 18th-century building that was rebuilt in 1903. This two-storey structure with an attic features a five-bay design and has a T-plan layout within an irregular terrace. The tavern is distinguished by its paired crowstepped gables facing the street and is finished in painted cement render with margins.
On the south elevation facing High Street, the entrance door is slightly to the right of the centre, accompanied by a modern window to the right and a smaller original window to the outer right. To the left, there is a modern window and a door with a fanlight at the outer left. A fascia board runs across the full width of the facade above the door. The first floor has two windows on the right gable and one window on the left gable, with a tiny opening to the outer left. Each gable at attic level features a single window.
The north elevation includes a steeply pitched roof on the projecting wing at the outer left, which has a crowstepped gable. The fenestration on this side is obscured by a high boundary wall. The first-floor windows have a 9-pane glazing pattern, while the attic windows feature a 3-pane glazing pattern above plate glass. The ground floor has plate glass display windows flanking the central door. The roof is covered with pantiles, and there are coped gablehead stacks with some cans, as well as square rainwater hoppers.
