Fife’s Art Deco Heritage 7: St Andrews (ii)

On the road leading west out of St Andrews (the B939) there lies this house.

It is flat roofed and shows signs of having had nice deco windows once but they have now been double glazed and look weird.

Further west, at the next junction, the road forks. The B939 goes on to the lovely wee village of Ceres but the other fork – called Strathkiness High Road – has 6 (count them, 6) flat roofed 1930s semi-detached bungalows.

The photos are presented in order west to east. Click on any to enlarge them.

They’re kind of sitting out on a limb as they are a few hundred metres from the rest of the town.

I suppose these could be described as modernist rather than Art Deco since they are quite stark but they do have all those horizontals and verticals which are like a signature. The glazing is of course not original.
