Description
1 School Brae in Letham is a mid-19th century, short, stepped terrace consisting of 11 single-storey houses and a shop, situated on sloping ground. The building is constructed of squared and snecked stone, featuring contrasting droved sandstone ashlar dressings on the principal east elevation. It has long and short quoins and surrounds around the openings, as well as an eaves course.
On the east entrance elevation, there is a 2-bay shop, a 4-bay house, and a 5-bay house. The shop has a doorway on the left with a boarded door and a 5-light letterbox fanlight, along with a single shop window on the right. The 4-bay house has steps leading up to a doorway in the penultimate bay from the left, which features a modern glazed and panelled door, with single windows in the other bays. The 5-bay house has doorways in the penultimate bays on both the left and right, with boarded, two-leaf doors and blocked fanlights, along with single windows in the remaining bays.
The north and south elevations have blank gables and feature 12-pane sash and case windows. The roofs are covered with grey slate, and there are coped brick gablehead stacks and coped gables.
