Description
26 East Fergus Place in Kirkcaldy is an earlier to mid 19th century, two-storey house with a piend and platform roof, which was converted to offices in 1992. The building features narrow blocks of squared and snecked sandstone, with droved ashlar quoins and dressings. It has a base course and deep ashlar eaves, along with corniced tripartite windows and stone mullions.
On the west (principal) elevation, there are two tripartite windows with relieving arches on the ground floor, and three small windows positioned close to the eaves on the first floor. The south (entrance) elevation has an advanced bay on the right with two windows on each floor. There is a doorway on the return to the left, which features a decorative part-consoled pediment and a deep-set panelled timber door. To the left, there is a recessed bay with a window on each floor.
The east elevation is asymmetrical, featuring a stair window in the center and an adjoining outbuilding to the ground right. The building has timber sash and case windows with 4- and 12-pane glazing patterns. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with cans.
Inside, some decorative cornices can be found. The boundary walls consist of low saddleback-coped ashlar walls on the west side, while coped rubble boundary walls are present elsewhere.
