Clett, Graemsay

Clett is a mid to later 19th century cottage that has undergone some alterations and additions. It is a single-storey, three-bay structure with a rectangular plan and a near-symmetrical design, featuring a square entrance porch that is offset to the right of center. The cottage is constructed from roughly coursed rubble, and there are outbuildings located to the north.

On the southeast elevation, which is the principal facade, there is a window in the entrance porch, also offset to the right of center, and a boarded door on the right side. Each bay on this elevation has a window flanking it. The northwest elevation, or rear, has a large window in the left bay and a small window in the right bay. The northeast and southwest side elevations are blank and have gablehead stacks. A solid ledge extends from the ground along the northeast elevation.

The cottage features four-pane timber sash and case windows, with fixed timber-framed windows in the porch. The roof is covered with graded stone tiles, has a stone ridge, coped skews, and corniced rubble gablehead and ridge stacks. The rear has uPVC rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 1998.

To the north of the main cottage is a single-storey, single-bay store that is built of rubble and positioned at right angles to the cottage. It has a boarded door in the southeast elevation and a deep-set boarded door in the southwest elevation, with a turf-over-flagstone roof. There is also a single-storey, three-bay byre range made up of three single-bay units, located to the north and parallel to the main cottage, also built of rubble. Each unit has a doorway in the southeast. Two of the units still have a flagstone roof, while the southernmost unit is roofless. Additionally, there is a later rectangular-plan rubble barn at the rear of the main cottage, which has a lean-to addition to the south. This barn is constructed of random rubble and has a corrugated-iron roof with coped skews.

The property is enclosed by rubble boundary walls that surround a rectangular garden to the southwest of the main cottage, as well as a smaller rectangular garden with rubble walls at the rear.
