Description
Tinwald House Cottage 1 is a two-storey L-plan block, likely designed by the architect William Adam around 1740. It was probably constructed as service quarters for Tinwald House. The building features lightly droved red ashlar stone with polished dressings. All openings are margined, and the square windows on the first floor are linked to an eaves band. The south-west elevation has two doors and a keystoned basket-arched cart opening, which is off-centre and now blocked, along with windows. There is a similar blocked opening leading to the courtyard, which has a curved drum with a parapet in the re-entrant angle. Most of the windows have small panes. The building also has an eaves course and cornice, symmetrically placed margined apex stacks, and a piended slate roof that sweeps over the eaves.
