Description

34 Quarrier's Village is a Free Renaissance style villa designed by Robert Alexander Bryden in 1897. This two-storey building features an asymmetrical plan and baronial detailing, including a distinctive octagonal turret with a viewing platform. The exterior is made of squared and snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings, showcasing a splayed base course, a broken string course, roll-moulded openings, and crowstepped gables. Notable decorative elements include Jacobean strapwork carving and wide rounded gable apex chimneystacks.

The entrance elevation consists of a three-bay, two-storey main house on the left and a single-storey service wing on the right. To the right, there is an advanced crowstepped gabled bay featuring bipartite windows and a round arched carved panel at the gable apex. A central lean-to porch, located in the re-entrant angle, has exaggerated crowsteps and a large ball-finial. The right side also includes a bipartite ground floor window and a segmental-arched stone pedimented dormer that breaks the eaves. The far right has a recessed crowstepped service door and a fully-glazed service wing, which was inserted in 2006.

On the south elevation, there is a two-storey octagonal tower to the left, adorned with carved detailing and a dentilled eaves course, topped with a chimneystack at the parapet wall. To the right, an advanced crowstepped gable features a recessed carved plaque and a prominent round arched carved moulding, along with a wide chamfered and corniced rounded chimneystack at the gable apex.

The villa predominantly has six-pane non-traditional timber windows and is topped with pitched roofs covered in grey Scottish slate. The gable end and wallhead chimneystacks are complemented by circular clay cans, terracotta ridge tiles, and cast-iron rainwater goods.
