Description
These are a pair of late 19th-century cottages, forming a single storey and attic, L-plan. They were built as part of the Sutherland Estate. The cottages are constructed of rubble with tooled rubble dressings. Glen Coul, the central section, is three bays wide, with a centrally positioned entrance now masked by a later gabled and glazed timber porch. There are a pair of gabled and bargeboarded dormers. A projecting wing, named Gairloch, extends to the south and features an entrance in the re-entrant angle. It also has a wide gabled bay with a wide ground floor centre window and an attic window above. The windows throughout are sliding multi-pane sashes. The cottages have tall, corniced end, ridge, and lateral chimneys, and bargeboarded slate roofs.
