Description

Woodfaulds Cottage, located on Braehead Road in Glamis, is a later 19th-century estate house that incorporates earlier building materials. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure with gabled roofs, built from coursed rubble at the front and featuring stugged ashlar quoins.

The west elevation is symmetrical, with a panelled timber door and a two-pane fanlight at the centre of the ground floor, flanked by windows. The first floor has regular fenestration, with windowheads that break the eaves into gabled dormerheads, the central one being steeply pitched.

On the east elevation, there is a window off-centre to the left at ground level and a small window directly above it. To the right, a piended bay features a timber door and a window, while a harled lean-to bay projects to the right with a window.

The north elevation includes a single-storey piended outbuilding with a tiny opening to the left and a door on the return to the right, along with a window to the left on the first floor and a lower lean-to bay to the outer left with a door and an adjacent window.

The south elevation has a window on each floor in the outer right bay, and a blinded opening in the centre. The windows are timber sash and case with a four-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, with Angus stone slate used for the outbuildings. The chimney stacks are made of coped ashlar and have a full complement of cans. The eaves are deeply overhanging, supported by plain bargeboarding and brackets.

Inside, the dining room, which was formerly an office, has a plain cornice, and the staircase features decorative cast-iron rails with a timber handrail.

There is also a rubble outbuilding, likely a former stable and gig-house, which has two-leaf boarded timber doors and a hayloft opening to the east.

The boundary of the property is marked by semicircular-coped rubble walls.
