Description
A row of three cottages dated 1889, designed by G Devey for Lord Northesk. The cottages are constructed of ground floor flint with brick dressings, and timber-frame with plaster infill on the first floor, all beneath a plain tile roof. A projecting right crosswing forms part of the five-window front. The building is one-and-a-half storeys high with a jettied first floor. There are doorways at the right end, between windows to the left of the centre, and on the inner side of the wing. Four three-light casement windows are present, some with leaded glass. Brackets support the jetty at each corner of the front of the wing, set on stone corbels. The wing has a five-light casement, and the gable has a three-light casement. A tablet is positioned above the central window. A gabled two-light casement dormer with a bargeboard sits on the roof, and eyebrow dormers with two-light leaded casements and bargeboards are on either side. Bargeboards are present on the gables. Rebuilt stacks are located to the right of the eyebrow dormers, and larger stacks sit behind the ridge of the gables. Drawings of the building are held in the RIBA Drawings Collection.
