Description
Chamberlayne's House is an early 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay house located on Low Causeway in Culross. The front is constructed of ashlar stone, while the rear is made of snecked stone. The building features droved detail on some margins, quoins, and coping, with ashlar margins and quoins, as well as an ashlar base and a corniced eaves course on the front. The front elevation includes 20th-century oriel windows.
The principal elevation is symmetrical, with a central door that has a three-pane fanlight above it, and remnants of a former pitched porch. Flanking the door are bipartite windows, and above the door is a centrally placed window, with corbelled, canted oriel bay windows on either side. To the right, there is a single-storey garage extension.
On the northwest elevation, there is a gable to the right and a blocked door also to the right, with a first-floor window adjacent. The left side features a rear section with three ground-floor and three first-floor windows. The northeast elevation is partially visible, showing a ground-floor window to the right and two first-floor windows. The southeast elevation is also partially visible and includes a rear wing added in 2001.
The house has decorative glazing on its timber sash and case windows, which feature four panes in the upper sash and a single pane in the lower sash, along with horns. Some windows include bull's eye glass. The entrance has a two-leaf timber panelled door, and the roof is pitched with slate tiles and piended dormers. The raised ashlar skews and scroll skewputts add to the architectural detail, along with corniced gable stacks and a shouldered cornice wallhead stack on the northwest side, topped with polygonal cans.
The boundary walls include a small rubble wall at the front with coping stones, sweeping to a central gate topped with metal railings. At the rear, there is a rubble wall leading to Back Causeway, with a timber boarded door. A spur stone is located to the southwest of the front garden wall.
