Description
4 Crook O'Ness Street, formerly known as the Macduff Arms, is a two-storey and attic, three-bay house built in 1763. The front elevation faces west and is constructed of coursed rubble with sandstone quoins and margins around the door and window openings. This elevation used to be rendered with painted margins, and remnants of this can still be seen on the stone. On the right side of the ground floor, there is a pair of windows next to a secondary doorway, which has been infilled with brick. The gables feature flat stone skews with run-off skewputs, and the south skewput is inscribed with the date '1763'. The roof is slated and includes two modern rooflights. The windows are timber sash and case with plate glass. The listing excludes the interior, the single-storey lean-to addition to the north gable, and the two-storey additions to the rear.
