Feering Hill House St Andrews

This is a house, now divided into two separate dwellings, originally dating to around 1700. It was extensively altered in the early 19th century and again in the late 19th century. The construction is of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, incorporating blue and gault brick headers, with some areas plastered. The roof is covered in handmade red plain tiles. The house is arranged in a square plan, with a main range facing the street, an internal stack at the right end, and a rear stack near the left end. Two adjacent rear wings are present, separated by two stacks. There is a late 19th-century gabled extension to the front of the right-hand end, and a parallel extension at the left end. A 20th-century flat-roofed two-storey extension projects from the rear, along with a single-storey lean-to extension with a pantiled roof.

The main, or front, elevation has two late 19th-century sash windows on the ground floor set within earlier openings, each with a flat arch and projecting voussoirs of gauged brick. Three similar windows are located on the first floor. A late 19th-century two-storey square bay features casements. A dormer window has a casement. A half-glazed door is topped with a 20th-century flat canopy. An ovolo-moulded band runs along the first-floor level, and an ovolo-moulded eaves cornice is present. Many blue brick headers are visible on the ground floor, extending slightly above the band; gault brick headers are above. Monograms are incised into red clay tablets on the front elevation, though these are now illegible.

The right-hand return, now the entrance elevation of No. 15A (Feering Hill House), features two early 19th-century sashes on the ground floor, each with ten and fifteen panes and original flush four-panel external shutters. Two early 19th-century sashes with eight and eight panes are on the first floor, all set within shallow segmental arches. Additionally, there is a round window with crossed glazing bars. A glazed door and a half-glazed door are located at the rear of a 20th-century semi-circular porch. A dentilled eaves cornice runs along the top.

The front ground-floor room of No. 15A (Feering Hill House) retains 18th-century pine panelling, as does the room above it. In the middle ground-floor room – now the entrance hall – posts supporting an axial beam have been carved with shields and scallops in the 20th century. No. 15 (St. Andrews) has 18th-century folding shutters in two of the front ground-floor windows.
