Craignairn House, Ravenscraig Street, Kirkcaldy

Craignairn House, located on Ravenscraig Street in Kirkcaldy, dates back to 1830. This is a two-storey, three-bay classical house featuring a piend and platform roof, with single-storey pavilions on either side. The exterior is finished in stugged ashlar with polished dressings and harled sides and rear. It includes a base course and an eaves cornice topped with a blocking course, and the windows on the south elevation are architraved.

On the south elevation, the central bay is approached by steps flanked by dwarf walls, leading to a pilastered and pedimented doorcase that contains a deep-set panelled timber door and a plate glass fanlight. There are windows in the flanking bays and a regular arrangement of windows on the first floor. The slightly set-back pavilions on either side each have a window.

The north elevation features a large stair window in the center above the ground floor, with a datestone initialed 'DB' located at the eaves above. There are slightly advanced bays on either side, each with a window on both floors. To the outer left, there is a piended, single-storey office with a door and window, while the outer right has a single-storey flat-roofed extension.

On the east elevation, there is a small window in the center at the first floor, with prominent wallhead stacks above. The west elevation has a large modern glass door in the advanced pavilion, with a window to the outer right near the eaves and a dominant wallhead stack.

The windows throughout the house feature 12- and 18-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case, although modern uPVC glazing has been installed on the sides and rear of the single-storey pavilions and on the east elevation at the first floor. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are grouped octagonal ashlar stacks with some chimney cans.

The property is enclosed by boundary walls made of coped squared and random rubble, along with cavetto-corniced square-coped ashlar gatepiers.
