Description
30 Whytehouse Avenue in Kirkcaldy is a 2-storey, 3-bay house built in 1902, designed in an L-plan with a mansard roof and prominent curvilinear gables. The exterior is harled, featuring overhanging eaves and a square-section gutter that creates the look of a cornice. The building includes a round-headed door and dormer windows, with stone mullions.
The west elevation is symmetrical, showcasing a central bay with a projecting dwarf wall and piers that were once part of a porch. It has a corniced cantilevered canopy and a three-part French door with small pane glazing, with a dormer window above in the mansard. Each side of the central bay features broad gabled sections with canted tripartite windows and a corniced blocking course beneath the windows in the gableheads.
The south elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a round-headed canopy with a cavetto cornice over the doorway. This doorway is set deep with a part-glazed door located to the right of center. There is a tall wallhead stack positioned off-center to the right, flanked by dormer windows.
The north elevation displays a variety of openings at the ground level, with two dormer windows to the right of a wallhead stack and another dormer window to the left.
The east elevation is asymmetrical, featuring a projecting wing on the right and a horizontal stair window in the re-entrant angle on the left. The windows throughout the house have a 12-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case style. The roof is covered with grey slates and terracotta ridge tiles, and the chimney stacks are coped and harled with terracotta cans.
Inside, the hall features a panelled dado and a timber balustered dog-leg staircase. The southwest room is notable for its fine decorative plasterwork cornicing and frieze, a timber fireplace with an overmantel, and a picture rail.
The property is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls, with coped, square-section ashlar gatepiers and cast-iron gates.
