Brae Cottage, 89 Queen Street, Broughty Ferry, Dundee

Brae Cottage is a villa built around 1800, with later additions from the early 19th century on the north, east, and west sides. It is a single-storey building with a basement and attic, featuring an irregular plan and five bays. The exterior is constructed of harled rubble with painted and droved margins, topped by a slate roof. The building has margined angles, and most of the windows are sash and case, with two-pane lower sections and six-pane upper sections. The roof has a coped ridge, wallhead, and gable stacks, some of which have decorative cans.

On the southeast elevation, the original three central bays have a former door that has been blocked and converted into a window, flanked by additional windows. There is a later dormer with multi-pane casements. To the left, a canted bay features two windows and a piended roof, while to the right, a bowed bay also has two windows and a half-conical roof.

The east elevation includes a projecting gabled entrance porch at the center with a window and saw-tooth skew. The door, located on the left return, has a fanlight and is covered by a bracketed and corniced canopy. There is a blank recessed bay to the left with a tall shouldered wallhead stack, and a set-back bay on the right with two windows.

On the north elevation, there are two projecting gables with a modern lean-to in the center. The left gable has a nine-pane casement attic window, an ashlar skew, and a small lean-to addition. The right gable features a large lower piended addition with shallow eaves, French doors, and a gablehead dormer on the right return, along with a small drum and pyramid skylight. The far right has a set-back bay with a central door and flanking windows, as well as a later dormer.

Inside, the cottage boasts a fine embossed peacock and palmette wallpaper frieze in the original entrance hall, along with egg and dart and foliate cornices. There are marble and timber moulded chimneypieces, brick and stone slab shelves in the cellar, cast-iron balusters at the attic landing, and a cupola rooflight.
