Description
The building is a garage located at King's Knoll on Clifford Road in North Berwick, designed by Peddie and Washington Browne in 1898, with a later addition by R S Lorimer in 1906. It is a single-storey and attic structure in the Tudor style, constructed from red sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and harling.
The south elevation is asymmetrical, featuring paired mullioned and transomed windows at the center, a small high tripartite window to the right, and a moulded, depressed arched doorway to the left set within a corniced ashlar panel, which includes panelled double doors. The outer bays are full-height gables, with the left bay being larger and harled above ground level, adorned with applied timber details. There are three bipartite gabled dormers at the center and a tall corniced brick stack located in the re-entrant angle to the left. To the east, there is a lower block with irregular openings and harling above the cill course, and a former courtyard. Additionally, there is a two-bay cottage adjoining the garage, built in 1906.
The north elevation, facing the garden, features three bold gabled bays. The central bay includes a mullioned and transomed tripartite window at ground level, while a canted four-light bay on the right wraps around the corner and has a leaded balcony decorated with fleur-de-lys motifs. Above this, there is a six-light corniced window and a small four-light window in the gable head. A similarly detailed bay is on the left, which includes a side oval window in the attic and a canted bay on the right. To the left, there is a lower harled laundry block with a Diocletian window and a coped parapet raised at the corners, featuring a ventilator at the center of the piend roof.
There are unfortunate modern extensions to the west, added in 1963. The building displays a variety of glazing patterns, including plate glass, leaded, and small-pane windows. The roof is covered with red plain tiles, featuring sweeping eaves supported by timber brackets, and moulded brick stacks with a triplet of diamond stacks at the center.
Inside, the garage has been significantly converted for use as an Old People's Home, but it retains a timber stair and panelling, along with some beamed ceilings and plasterwork.
