Description

53-55 Kinghorn Road is an early 19th century, two-storey terraced house with an attic, now converted into flats. It has a rectangular plan and is constructed of droved ashlar with raised cills and a base course.

On the south elevation, there is a modern door at the center with a plate glass fanlight, flanked by windows. The first floor features regular windows, and there are piend-roofed dormer windows above on both the right and left sides.

The north elevation is largely obscured but has a slightly projecting central stair tower. The windows are fitted with plate glass glazing in sash and case style. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with cans and ashlar coped skews.

The boundary walls include low saddleback-coped, harled walls to the south, and coped rubble walls to the north, east, and west.
