Description
Eden Valley Linen Mill, located on Eden Valley Row in Freuchie, is a former linen works built around 1864, likely by Robertson & Orchar. This two-storey building features a 16-bay long facade with a regular arrangement of windows, interrupted by two segmentally arched cart entrances. The exterior is constructed of squared and snecked stugged sandstone, with rusticated ashlar masonry used for the quoins, arched cart entrance surrounds, and vertical margins that define the first and last three bays. The windows have flush droved long and short surrounds, and there is an ashlar eaves course and cornice. Additional sandstone rubble buildings are attached to the rear.
The east elevation is nearly symmetrical, with an entrance door located in the fifth bay and curb stones at the cart entrances. The south elevation has two two-storey bays and a long single-storey sandstone rubble shed attached. The west elevation is obscured by a recent extension. The north elevation features two bays and includes a complex of rubble sandstone and slated engine and boiler house with large arched openings, showing some signs of fire damage. An octagonal brick chimney, now truncated, rises from the base cornice, alongside further modern additions from the 20th century.
The principal elevation has a two-leaf timber entrance door with a four-pane fanlight above it, and fanlights are also present above the cart entrances. Most windows are 10-pane timber designs, with fixed top hoppers for the factory and sash and case for the office on the first floor to the south; some windows are blocked. The building has piended slate roofs with regularly placed cast-iron roof lights for the north-lit weaving sheds. A modern rendered stack from the 20th century replaces the original stone stack.
The interior, partially seen in 2003, features a timber floor and cast-iron columns supporting the first floor.
The site also includes gate piers and boundary walls, consisting of a pair of square-plan, rusticated ashlar gate piers to the south, topped with corniced caps that are missing finials. Wrought-iron gates with scroll detail are present, and a rubble boundary wall extends southwards to North Street. A low rubble stone wall curves northwards from the north elevation, featuring paired squat rubble piers, one of which is missing.
