1 Fleoideabhagh

1 Fleoideabhagh is a cottage built around 1840, constructed by Donald MacAulay. It features a 20th-century replacement porch and remains largely unaltered. This rare early example of a single-storey and attic, 3-bay, rectangular-plan cottage is situated against a rocky outcrop in the Bays of Harris. The cottage includes a small gabled storm porch and timber-gabled dormers. The exterior is made of pointed snecked rubble with squared rubble lintels and concrete cills, while the rear is finished with lime render.

The symmetrical entrance elevation faces south and has a 2-leaf timber storm door at the center of the porch. Small windows are located in the flanking bays beneath finialled slate-hung timber dormers, with a later rooflight positioned at the center. There is a single opening to the left of center at the rear. The windows are timber sash and case with a 4-pane glazing pattern, featuring horns. The roof is covered with bonded Paisley slate, and the skews are finished with lime mortar. The stacks are coped rubble and rendered, complete with cans and evidence of thackstanes.

Inside, the cottage retains some good traditional details, including painted lime mortar floors and open-timbered ceilings. The kitchen features a timber-lintelled recess to the left of a large fireplace opening, which has a monumental stone lintel, a timber surround, and a Modern Mistress cast-iron stove stamped 'Columbian Stove Works, Falkirk'. The living room has a cast iron fireplace with decorative tile cheeks and a timber surround. The timber staircase has been altered.
