Description

Nicol's Brae in Macduff is a mid 18th century, two-storey, three-bay house that has undergone some alterations, particularly to the ground floor openings where an additional window has been added. The exterior is harled with contrasting painted margins. The entrance is slightly off-centre and there are three windows on the ground floor. The first-floor entrance is raised on the south gable due to the sloping site, and it features modern two-pane glazing. The house has harled end stacks and a slate roof.
