Description

The Sabbath School Home, located at 28 Quarrier's Village, is a 2-storey Baronial villa designed by Robert A Bryden and dated 1893. It features an irregular plan and is situated at the southern edge of the village. The building is constructed from squared, snecked, and stugged sandstone ashlar, with ashlar dressings and roll-moulded openings. The base course is made of bull-faced rubble, and there are moulded string and eaves courses.

On the east elevation, there are three bays. The left side has a slightly corbelled crow-stepped gable topped with a ball finial, while the right side features a prominent corniced chimneystack with a scrolled pediment. At the right return angle, there is a central conical-roofed drum tower, which includes a dentiled string course at the upper stage and a carved name plaque, along with moulded eaves that terminate in dragon gargoyles.

The north elevation also has three bays. To the left is a buttressed and crenellated porch with a four-centred archway and a mosaic floor featuring a thistle motif. There is a transomed and mullioned tripartite window with quatrefoil carved heads on the return, and an ornate carved frieze. The central crow-stepped gable is slightly advanced and features transomed and mullioned tripartite windows, a carved datestone at the first floor, a small window in the gablehead, and a round arched finial.

The south elevation consists of three bays, with an additional single-storey, two-bay section to the left. The right side has an advanced crow-stepped gabled bay with a canted tripartite ground floor window. To the left, there is a projecting tripartite square window with pillastered mullions, horizontal banding, and an ornamental parapet that includes a name plaque and four ball finials above (three of which are missing as of 2006). There are also two breaking eaves dormers, each with ornamental scrolled pediments and ball-finial dies.

The windows have been replaced with uPVC. The pitched roofs are covered with grey Scottish slate, and there is an irregular arrangement of square, corniced, and coped ashlar chimneystacks, along with pierced terracotta ridge tiles, circular clay cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the villa features a good hardwood staircase with a curved banister, timber half-panelling in the hall, and dentilled architraves surrounding some doorways. The porch contains a fine decorative floor mosaic.
