1 And 3 Balwearie Road, Kirkcaldy

1 and 3 Balwearie Road in Kirkcaldy is a two-storey, four-bay flatted villa built in 1905 by Swanston & Syme, showcasing Queen Anne architectural details. The exterior features stugged, squared, and snecked rubble with contrasting sandstone ashlar quoins and margins. Notable elements include a moulded doorway, stone mullions, and chamfered arrises.

On the northeast (principal) elevation, there is an advanced gabled bay to the right, which has a full-height canted tripartite window and a corniced roof that extends into the gablehead. To the left, a re-entrant angle features a finialled, turret-roofed canted corner tower, with steps leading up to a deep-set part-glazed timber door and a cusped window to the right. Above, a first-floor cill cornice leads to a bipartite window, with a mutulated eaves cornice and a stepped blocking course. To the left of the centre, there are bipartite windows on both floors, with the first-floor window being smaller and positioned close to the eaves. The outer left side has a recessed lower bay with a window on the ground floor and a horizontal tripartite window above, also close to the eaves.

The east elevation is not fully visible at ground level, but it features a lower swept-roof bay to the right and a taller, ball-finialled flat-roofed bay to the left, which includes a Diocletian window at the first floor.

The windows are timber sash and case, with multi-pane upper sashes over two-pane lower sashes at the first floor, and plate glass glazing at ground level. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are ashlar-coped skews, deeply overhanging eaves, and cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers and fixings.

Inside, number 3 features a tall white-painted Art Nouveau style chimneypiece with an inset mirror in the overmantel.
