12-pane glazing pattern (that to E lying-pane) in timber sash and case windows. Clay pantiles. Coped ashlar stacks with thackstanes and cans; ashlar-coped skews with scroll skewputts.
BOUNDARY WALL: semicircular-coped rubble boundary walls.
Property of Balbirnie Estate. Cunningham says that in 1836 Star boasted a population of 232, and was a "long straggling hamlet of little houses with red tiles", also that the handloom was already out-of-date resulting in a return to agricultural employment. Broomfield Cottage is a good example of traditional architecture in Star, much of which has been unsympathetically altered or eradicated. The scrolled skewputts are either re-used from an earlier structure or pay homage to traditional pre 1800 design.
Due to confusion over boundaries this was removed from Kennoway Parish and into Markinch Parish in March 2000. Now reinstated in Kennoway Parish August 2000.
