Description

33 and 34 Spylaw Street is a later 18th century, two-storey, three-bay house that has undergone some alterations and additions. The building features a gablehead stack and additions to the rear. It is constructed from sandstone rubble with dressed margins and quoins. The front door is timber panelled and has a plate glass fanlight above it, with regular fenestration across the three bays. There is evidence of alterations to the ground floor windows.

On the north (rear) elevation, there is a single-storey and attic gabled outshot to the left, made of random rubble and with irregular fenestration, including dormers that break the eaves. In the centre, there is a two-storey, flat-roofed scullery outshot, with brick and timber at the ground level and corrugated iron on the first floor, also featuring irregular fenestration. Cast-iron steps lead to the first floor.

The first-floor windows at the front and some at the rear have 4-pane glazing in timber sash and case frames, while the ground floor features small-pane glazing in non-traditional timber windows. The building has coped stacks with a plain cornice, and a clay can on the left-hand stack. The roof is covered with small graded grey slates.
