Description

Late 18th to early 19th century 2-storey and attic symmetrical 3-bay house. White painted harl with smooth painted margins, angle quoins and eaves course. Window to ground floor right slightly larger than corresponding opening. Lean-to to rear with 3 flat-roofed dormers and conservatory addition.

Non-traditional top-opening uPVC windows; non-traditional door. Pantiles with slate easing course and 4 vents. Ashlar coped skews and scrolled skewputts. Coped gable stacks.

Statement of Interest

A good example of a late 18th/early 19th century burgh house in the Fife vernacular harl and pantile tradition. The windows set close to the eaves and the scrolled skewputts indicate its early date. It occupies a prominent position in Station Road and forms an important part of the streetscape.

The statutory address of the former list description included "formerly the "Cross Keys Inn"", which likely explains that the slightly enlarged ground floor right window was the bar area.

List description updated 2008.
