Description

131 High Street in Kirkcaldy is an early 19th-century, four-storey, three-bay small tenement with a shop on the ground floor, situated on a slope that descends to the south. The building features polished ashlar stone at the front, squared rubble at the rear, and cement render on the west side. There are cill courses on the second and third floors, along with a projecting eaves cornice. The first-floor windows are framed with architraves.

The south elevation facing High Street is symmetrical, with a shop on the ground floor that has an in-canted central door and panelled timber aprons beneath the display windows. Above, there is a modern fascia board and flanking granite piers, topped by a deep granite course that is not in keeping with the building's character. Each of the upper floors has three windows.

The north elevation facing Hill Street is three-storey and two-bay, featuring a lean-to extension on the ground and first floors to the right. There is a window to the left of centre on the first floor and two windows above it, all beneath a piended roof.

The windows throughout have a 12-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case style, while the first floor on the south side has modern top-opening windows with three panes over plate glass. The ground floor has fixed display windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are cavetto coped ashlar stacks with cans and ashlar coped skews.
