Path House (Pathhead Medical Centre), 3-9 Nether Street, Kirkcaldy

Path House, also known as Pathhead Medical Centre, is a historic building located at 3-9 Nether Street in Kirkcaldy, dating back to 1692. A tower was added in the late 19th century, and the building was renovated and converted into a nurses' residence in 1979 by Wheeler and Sproson. In the 1990s, it was further converted into a health centre. The structure is a 3-storey, L-plan house with a later rear wing and an engaged circular stair tower. It features harled walls with stone margins and an eaves course, along with carved stone dormer heads.

The south elevation, which is the principal face, has a 4-bay recessed design with dwarf walls flanking the path to the ground floor. This includes a corniced and pedimented roll-moulded doorcase with a monogrammed frieze to the left of centre, two windows to the right, and another window to the left. The fenestration is regular in bays 2, 3, and 4 on the first and second floors, with the latter featuring monogrammed dormer gable heads that break the eaves, including one dated to the outer right. There is an advanced gable to the left of centre with two windows on each floor and a broad gablehead stack, plus an additional window on the return to the right, with the second-floor window matching the earlier description. The round stair tower, which has a conical roof and finial, is located in the re-entrant angle and features a window on each floor, with the second-floor window being pedimented.

The west elevation includes a chimney gable to the left of centre and three windows on each floor. The second-floor windows on the centre and left are smaller, with a chimney gable above, while the right window breaks the eaves as previously mentioned. There is a wall-mounted angle sundial to the outer right at the first floor.

On the north elevation, there is an almost full-height single bay wing projecting to the left of centre, with two windows to the right and another window to the left on the first and second floors. The latter features crowstepped dormer heads that break the eaves, with the eastern dormer replaced in 1978. A further lower wing projects to the right of centre.

The east elevation is a blank gable with a dominant gablehead stack. The building features 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, grey slates on the roof, and coped and harled stacks with cans. The gables have ashlar-coped skews with scroll skewputts.

The gatepiers and boundary wall are rusticated and harled, featuring square-section, coped gatepiers with ashlar-coped harled boundary walls.
