Grayburn, Benvie, Dundee

Grayburn is a single-storey and attic, rectangular-plan villa built in the Arts and Crafts style in 1905 by Patrick H Thoms of Thoms and Wilkie, with a slightly later extension to the east by one bay in a similar style. The villa features Kentish rag whinstone masonry with red pinnings, harled gables, and a steeply-pitched stone slate roof. It has multi-pane timber casements, a metal-framed bow window on the south elevation with leaded panes and ashlar dressings, and dormers with shallow-pitched roofs. The building is topped with tall coped stacks.

On the south elevation, there is a bell-cast gable at the center bays, a four-light flat-roofed bow window in the middle with a joggled cavetto cornice adorned with three masks, and a two-leaf, partially-glazed, segmental-headed door to the left set within a segmental-arched doorway that is splayed at the jambs. To the right of the door is a single window, and above is a tripartite window in the attic. There is a blank bay to the outer right, with a dormer above to the left and a stack rising from the valley to the left. An integral porch to the left is blocked with masonry and a multi-light window, shouldered at the angles, with a dormer above to the right.

The west gable features two widely spaced windows with relieving arches, and a porch to the right that is infilled with a glazed French window and sidelights, also shouldered at the angles. There is a canted oriel in the attic supported by stone corbels, with a harled lower part and a jettied gable above, and a stack to the left.

The north elevation is asymmetrical, featuring five windows of various sizes on the ground floor and a piended stair dormer to the right, with a stack to the left flanked by dormers.

On the east gable, there are three windows flanked by doors, with a jettied attic that has a bipartite window.

Inside, there is a well stair with plain square-section timber newels and balusters, a moulded handrail, one original chimneypiece, and a moulded cornice in the drawing room that features bird and mice motifs.

The property is enclosed by rubble boundary walls to the north, south, and east, with a road bridge over the Fowlis Burn, which is listed separately, forming part of the boundary to the west.
