Description

Buglass in Stenton is a row of cottages dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is a single-storey structure located on sloping ground to the southeast of the Old School House and Hall. The cottages are built from pink sandstone rubble, featuring ashlar surrounds around the openings and chamfered arrises on the doors.

The west elevation consists of a three-bay cottage on the northern end, with a central doorway flanked by a small window on the outer left and a larger window on the right. There are two adjoining two-bay cottages, which are currently combined into one known as Old Playground Cottage. This cottage has a door on the left and a later window on the right in the central section, while the door in the right cottage has been blocked and converted into a window. Lean-to outbuildings extend from the outer right bay. A rubble terrace with stone steps leads to the central and northern cottages.

The rear of the building rises with the ground, and the eastern elevations are low. The sash and case windows feature 4-pane and small-pane glazing patterns. The structure has ashlar skews and both mutual and gable end stone stacks, with a brick repair noted on the southern gable stack.
