Description
Smithy House, located at 154 Atholl Road in Pitlochry, is a building from the earlier to mid 19th century. It is a two-storey, two-bay, rectangular plan gabled house that has been converted into a restaurant. At the rear, there are single storey and attic ranges that form a U-plan courtyard. The exterior is finished in whitewashed rubble.
On the southwest (principal) elevation, there is a slightly set-back gabled bay to the right of center, featuring a window on each floor and a door with a plate glass fanlight to the left in the re-entrant angle. The bay to the left has a window below the low eaves and two small gabled dormer windows above, with the right dormer being diminutive and featuring a raised center three-light window.
The southeast elevation, facing Cloichard Place, has a blank gabled bay with a traditionally-lettered timber sign. The northwest elevation showcases a broad swept gable with a window to the left at ground level below a timber sign, and a projecting full-height stack to the right.
On the northeast elevation, there is a small window on each floor at approximately the center, along with a window on the left return of the lower projecting bay to the outer right adjoining the northwest range.
In the northwest range, the courtyard elevation features a bay to the right of center with a timber door and an adjacent window to the right, along with two windows to the left and a dormer window (formerly a hayloft opening) breaking the eaves at the center. The northwest (outer) elevation has a lean-to bay with three small windows and a dormer window to the left of center above.
In the northeast range, the courtyard elevation includes a deep-set door to the outer left with windows flanking a blank center bay, topped with a corrugated roof.
The building largely features small pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows, as well as horizontal glazing patterns in casement windows. The roof is covered in grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with cans. The eaves are deeply overhanging and bracketted.
