Description

30 and the south wing of 32 High Street in Banff are notable buildings with distinct architectural features. No 32, dating from the later 18th century, originally served as a drawing room wing associated with the County Hotel. It has a single storey over a raised basement at the rear, with a front made of tooled ashlar and painted ashlar margins, while the rear and return gable are harled. The side entrance is located in a quadrant passage, and there is an enlarged front window designed as a bipartite. The windows are fitted with plate glass glazing in timber sash and case frames, and the building has a piended slate roof with a wallhead stack.

No 30, built in the mid to later 19th century, is linked to No 32 and also features a single storey over a raised basement. It has a two-bay street frontage with an entrance in the north gable flanked by windows. The exterior is harled with painted ashlar margins, and like No 32, it has plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows, as well as end stacks and a slate roof.

The garden area is enclosed by renewed cast-iron spearhead railings with urn stiffeners, separating the garden from the hotel frontage. A low coped rubble wall fronts both Nos 30 and 32 from the street, with a pair of plain ashlar gatepiers featuring shallow pyramidal caps flanking the pedestrian entry.

Inside, Nos 30 and 32 have been combined into a single dwelling. The drawing room in No 32 boasts a coved ceiling adorned with a decorative plaster frieze and a centre rose.
