Description
38-40 Kenmore Street in Aberfeldy is a pair of traditional houses from the mid-19th century, consisting of two storeys and an attic, featuring six bays. There is also a two-storey house attached at the rear. The buildings are constructed from chlorite-slate rubble with large quoins, projecting cills, and slab lintels, while the rear is finished with dry-dash.
The south elevation is symmetrical, with bays to the right of the centre featuring a modern door and windows in the flanking bays, along with regular fenestration on the first floor. The left bays mirror this but include a part-glazed panelled timber door and a plate glass fanlight offset to the right, with a blocked door to the left and two polygonal-roofed canted dormer windows.
On the east elevation, there is a gabled bay with a window on each floor to the right. The west elevation also has a gabled bay, featuring a window to the left at ground level, with No 44 adjoining on the outer left. The north elevation shows a variety of elements, including an altered projecting bay under a catslide roof to the left and a piend-roofed bay to the right.
No 44 has an asymmetrical west elevation with a door near the centre, a window to the left, and a small window above, along with windows in the flanking bays. The right bay features a gabled dormerhead that breaks the eaves, with an additional door on the outer right. The north elevation includes a gabled bay to the right with a large modern window at ground level and a single window on the first floor to the left, plus another window and door at the outer left. The east elevation has a projecting gable to the right with a first-floor window, and a blank recessed bay to the left.
Most windows are timber sash and case, with two-pane upper sashes and a four-pane glazing pattern for the dormers. The roofs are covered in graded grey slates, with coped ashlar stacks and some chimney cans. The eaves are overhanging with plain bargeboarding.
An ancillary building in a T-plan is located at the rear of No 44, built from rubble and dry-dash with a slate roof, featuring modern glazing and a door.
