'Alan Dick Home', 17 Quarrier's Village

The 'Alan Dick Home' is a two-storey villa built in 1886 by Robert Alexander Bryden, designed in the irregular-plan Tudor-Gothic style. It is prominently situated at the center of Quarrier's Village and constructed from squared and snecked sandstone ashlar with ashlar dressings. The building features a bull-faced rubble base course, a moulded string course, and dentilled timber eaves.

The entrance bay on the north side is advanced and includes a slightly splayed pyramidal-capped tower. At ground level, it is flanked by single 10-pane sash and case windows. Five steps lead up to a timber double door set within a round-arched doorway, which has a prominent keystone and a moulded cornice. Above the string course, there is a carved foliate name plaque. The entrance also features a bipartite round-arched window with round-arched hood mouldings and a flanking band course, along with timber bracketed eaves and a moulded blocking course.

The roof has a lower pitch and returns to slightly advanced bargeboarded gable ends on the east and west elevations. The east elevation includes a canted bay with tripartite multi-pane sash and case windows and a slated roof, along with a single sash and case window above that has a round-arched hood moulding and a plaque at the center. To the left, there is a tripartite window with wide mullions and linked round-arched hood mouldings, and to the right, there are two small single light windows.

On the south elevation, there is a single-storey rear vestibule with a slate roof located in the southeast re-entrant angle. This vestibule features a bipartite window that breaks the eaves, a hipped and slated dormer pediment, and terracotta cresting. The advanced bay to the left has tripartite sash and case windows, and a bipartite window that breaks the eaves of the hipped roof. There are also single-storey outbuildings on the west elevation.

Inside, some etched glass remains in the windows and doors. The villa is adorned with piended roofs, grey Scottish slate, terracotta ridge cresting, ornamental clay cans, cast iron finials, and cast-iron rainwater goods.
