Tigh-Na-Bruaich, Garbhein Road, Kinlochleven

Tigh-Na-Bruaich is a two-storey, two-bay detached house designed by A. A. H. Scott in 1909. It is an asymmetrical Arts and Crafts style building with a swept gabled roof. The principal, north, elevation features a two-storey canted bay window. The ground floor walls are of coursed Kentallen rubble, while the upper storey is harled, with concrete and artificial stone dressings. A band course of tiles runs along the first-floor cill level, and three horizontal stripes of tiles are laid on both gable ends.

The north elevation’s entrance is to the left of centre, with an artificial stone architrave and a rubble relieving arch above; the timber door has an oval glazed panel at the top and a rectangular fanlight. An ingle window is placed above the entrance, and a small, two-light, segmental-headed window with a timber mullion sits to the left. To the right is a flat-roofed, two-storey, five-sided canted bay window with timber mullions, and a leaded facing between the storeys decorated with an embossed diamond pattern of four diamonds in the centre. An arrowslit is visible in the gable.

The south elevation has two segmental-headed entrances to the outer left. One has a boarded timber door, and the other has a partially glazed door dating from the later 20th century. Two segmental-headed windows are to the right, with the outer right window having three lights with timber mullions. There are three regularly-spaced windows on the first floor. An arrowslit is present in the gable.

On the east elevation are two segmental-headed, two-light windows with timber mullions on the ground floor, and a pair of small windows centred on the first floor. The west elevation has a segmental-headed, three-light window with timber mullions in the centre of the ground floor, a shorter three-light window with timber mullions above, and three small ground floor windows to the right.

The windows are predominantly multi-pane, horned timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered in grey Ballachulish slate with swept gables, and the roof has a pair of harled coped ridge stacks with round cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are fitted.

The interior layout is largely original. The entrance opens onto a hallway with a timber beamed ceiling and a quarter-turn timber staircase featuring rectangular-plan newel posts and balusters. A dining room to the rear also has a timber beamed ceiling. The original timber doors retain their aluminium handles. Original fireplaces are present in two bedrooms, and a built-in cupboard is in one room. Quarry tiles cover the floors of the hall and kitchen.
