Description

Stables Cottage, located at Hillhead of Dunkeld on Brae Street, is a mid-19th century building that has undergone some later alterations. It features a U-shaped layout with a single-storey cottage group and a single-storey stable range to the east. The exterior is harled with ashlar dressings.

The northern range has a central door on the south elevation, which consists of French doors, flanked by a window on each side and three metal ridge ventilators. The eastern and western ranges have gabled end elevations facing south, with bipartite windows. The western range also includes a weathervane. The eastern range features windows on the court elevation, along with a door, a window, and a carriage door on the western court elevation.

The cottage showcases a variety of glazing patterns in its timber sash and case windows. It has bracketed eaves with plain bargeboards, ridge stacks, and is covered with grey slates.

The stables are a single-storey, five-bay near-rectangular range running east-west, constructed with similar materials. The penultimate bays are gabled, with the right bay slightly advanced and featuring two windows, while the left bay has a stable door, both adorned with blind arrowslits in the gableheads. There is an off-centre stable door to the right with a window, another stable door to the outer right, and a two-leaf door to the outer left. The stables also have hopper windows and boarded doors, with graded grey slates, metal ridge ventilators, and ashlar coping to the gableheads.

The property is complemented by gatepiers and gates, consisting of a pair of harled corniced piers with two-leaf wrought-iron gates, along with a rubble-coped boundary wall made of rubble.
