Description

1 Kilcruick Road in Kinghorn is a mid-19th century single storey and attic cottage with three bays. The building is constructed of squared rubble with ashlar dressings and is harled, featuring stone margins and quoin strips on the sides and rear. It has a hoodmoulded doorway.

The northwest elevation is symmetrical, showcasing a slightly advanced gable at the center topped with a ball finial. This gable contains a deep-set panelled timber door, a decorative astragal fanlight, and a narrow light. Flanking bays have windows, and there are small piended dormer windows added later over the outer bays.

The northeast elevation features a gable with a window beneath a monogrammed lintel dated '1694' on the left side of the gablehead.

The southeast elevation is asymmetrical, displaying a variety of elements, including a small projecting piended wing.

On the southwest elevation, windows are positioned off-centre to the right at ground level and in the gablehead.

The cottage has a 12-pane glazing pattern in its timber sash and case windows, with timber casement windows in the dormers. The roof is covered with graded slates. The gablehead stacks are made of coped ashlar and feature three grouped diamond-aligned stacks and cans, along with gablet-ashlar-coped skews that have bracketed skewputts.

Inside, the cottage has plain cornices and working shutters.

The property also includes pyramidally-coped, square-section ashlar gatepiers with boarded timber gates and a pedestrian gate, along with flat-coped rubble boundary walls.
