Adylinn, Newton Street, Blairgowrie

Adylinn is an Arts & Crafts style house dating to 1903, with a sunroom added in the late 1940s. It is a single and two-storey, two-bay L-plan building, notable for its mock half-timbered gableheads and deep jerkinhead roof. The exterior is constructed of bull-faced red sandstone rubble with bull-faced quoins, and features stone mullions.

The south-west (principal, or west-facing) elevation has a prominent, finialled gable on the right-hand side, containing a tripartite window on the ground floor and a bipartite window above. To the left is a set-back bay with a slated canopy supported by deep timber braces, overshadowing a panelled timber door with a multi-paned toplight and moulded apron. A re-entrant angle to the right, and two small windows to the left, are also present, with two further windows centrally positioned at the first floor, under a swept roof.

The north-east (Newton Street) elevation has a broad gabled bay to the right, with single windows to each floor on the left, a bipartite window on the ground floor to the right, and a further single window above. A narrow, blank bay is positioned to the outer left.

The south-west elevation includes a later piend-roofed sunroom with a door on its return, a bipartite window to the left, a small window to the right, and a stair window at the centre. A further single window is positioned to the left under the jerkinhead roof.

The north-west (rear) elevation is asymmetrically fenestrated and incorporates a single-storey, piend-roofed wing to the right, along with a window within a steeply-pitched gablehead at centre.

The windows feature multi-pane top lights of dimpled coloured glass over plate glass, and vertical two-pane glazing patterns within timber casements, including those in the sunroom. Coloured leaded glazing featuring fine bird panels is found in the stair window. The roof is covered in grey slates, with a coped, rock-faced square ridge stack adorned with decorative cans and terracotta ridge tiles. Overhanging eaves feature plain bargeboarding. Cast-iron downpipes are accented by decorative rainwater hoppers.

The interior retains a good decorative scheme, including moulded plasterwork cornices, picture rails, panelled doors with brass door furniture, panelled soffits and reveals. A tiled hall floor is present, along with a screen door with coloured glass. The stairhall contains a timber-balustered dog-leg staircase, with acorn-finialled newel posts and brass stair rods, and a finely-detailed stair window. The drawing room features an original fire surround with a carved frieze, a broken-pedimented overmantel incorporating an oval mirror with flanking mirrors, and a replacement grate. The dining room has a timber fire surround, an inset cast-iron grate, and tiled cheeks. The kitchen has a boarded dado.

The property is enclosed by semicircular-coped rubble boundary walls, some of which are low and incorporate decorative cast-iron railings and a pedestrian gate.
