Scadlaw House

Scadlaw House is a modern movement house designed by Morris and Steedman, built between 1968 and 1969. It is a single-storey and attic structure arranged in an L-shape, featuring a deep-eaved monopitch roof that slopes down to a two-sided entrance courtyard, creating a covered walkway. The roof and upper floor are covered with cedar shingles, while the ground floor is finished with white-painted render on a grey brick base course, and there is a concrete cill course on the south elevations.

The principal entrance is located in the re-entrant angle and features a slatted glazed door with side-lights. The northeast and northwest elevations have slatted strip windows under the eaves, with otherwise bare walls. The southeast and southwest elevations are two-storey and have a fairly regular arrangement of picture windows and sliding glazed doors. There is a garage at the northeast gable, and the ceiling below the eaves is cedar-boarded.

Inside, the house has a double-height galleried entrance hall with a raked timber-boarded ceiling and diagonally-set beams, which occupies the central space of the L-plan layout. The double-height drawing room features timber-boarded panelling on the ceiling and upper walls, along with a slate-backed fireplace that has a copper-hooded stove. Generous floor-to-ceiling doors made of Cedar of Lebanon lead to the principal rooms off the entrance hall, and some bedrooms include fitted cupboards.

The boundary walls consist of random rubble, serving as boundary and screen walls to the northeast.
