Description
Two semi-detached houses, 6 and 7 The Whinlands, were built between 1910 and 1914 as part of the Thorpeness village development, commissioned by Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie. The design is attributed to Frederick Forbes Glennie. The houses are likely constructed from concrete block with applied timber framing, set on a brick plinth, and have a pantile roof. They display an elaborate asymmetry, with a gable facing to the right.
The houses are two storeys high, with mainly two- and three-light wooden casement windows. Square two-storey bays project to form porches on the ground floor. A bay is situated to the left of number 7, and another is canted across the right corner of number 6, formed of two triangular bays. A further gabled bay is positioned to the right side. The left side is recessed on the ground floor, with the upper part supported on piers, creating a mock jettied effect. Brick diagonal and rear ridge stacks are present.
The interior has not been inspected. The houses form part of a good group situated between the Ogilvie Almshouses and Westbar. Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie, the owner of the Thorpeness Estate, conceived and sketched out the entire village, commissioning the architects involved in its development.
