Roycroft, 31 Yewbank Avenue, Broughty Ferry, Dundee

Roycroft is a two-storey, four-bay Arts and Crafts cottage-style house built in 1906 by Charles G Soutar. The building has a rectangular plan and features harled walls with mainly ashlar mullions and cills, topped with a red tile roof. The windows are primarily 4 and 8-pane sash and case, and the house has deep swept eaves with plain bargeboards, elongated wallhead stacks, and terracotta cans.

On the southeast elevation, there are three bays on the left linked by a timber verandah that is accessed by steps with coped walls. The verandah has a cat-slide roof and is flanked by full-height gabled bays. A round-headed archway with flanking windows leads to a lobby and entrance door, which is panelled with rectangular leaded lights at the top. There is also a tripartite flat-roofed dormer. The gabled bay on the right features tripartite windows on the ground floor and a segmental archway leading to a balcony with French doors on the first floor. The right gabled bay has a full-height canted window with timber mullions, a jetted and tile-hung gablehead, and a ground floor window with a stack on the right return. There is a recessed bay on the right with a modern window on the ground floor and a bipartite window on the first.

The northeast elevation includes a single-storey projection at the outer left that abuts a two-storey advanced gabled bay. There is a door flanking on the right and two stair windows with rectangular leaded panes, along with irregular fenestration.

In the garden, there is a two-stage building consisting of a harled potting shed at ground level and a glasshouse above. A bronze sundial inscribed 'Carbet Castle, 1880' is present, though it is no longer on its original pedestal.

Inside, the house features Voysey-esque details, including a hall with an inglenook chimneypiece and a panelled overmantle. The doors have tripartite segmental-arched leaded lights, and there is a bracketted shelf at lintel level. The staircase and landing have capped posts and some balusters with pierced love-hearts. There is a bracketted chimneypiece in the ground floor room to the west, and a similar one on the first floor that is currently blocked, featuring a segmental overmantle that incorporates two fete champetre tapestry panels.
