Northneuk, George Street, Blairgowrie

This is a pair of early to earlier 20th-century cottages located on George Street, Blairgowrie. They are tall, single-storey structures with attics, each featuring three bays and exhibiting Arts and Crafts detailing, including mock half-timbered dormerheads and a jerkinhead roof. The cottages are constructed of banded squared rubble with ashlar quoins and raised margins. Openings are tabbed with moulded window and doorheads. Dormer windows are timber-mullioned.

The northwest (principal) elevation is symmetrical. The cottage on the left, named Wingate, incorporates leaded coloured glass and a moulded apron to its part-glazed, panelled timber front door, which features a plate glass fanlight and a decorative cast-iron doorbell with key. Windows are present in the flanking bays and finialled bipartite dormer windows sit above smaller cast-iron rooflights. A gabled garage projects at the outer left angle, boasting a bipartite window on its return to the right and a part-glazed timber door in the re-entrant angle. The cottage on the right, named Northneuk, mirrors the design, but lacks the coloured glass and features a lower, set-back, piended bay to the outer right.

The southeast (rear) elevation consists of lined render or stone-faced bays to the right of centre, with random rubble to the left. Wingate has a small opening at the centre, leading to a jettied (bathroom) bay above with a bipartite window. A satellite dish is visible to the right, and a large, modern conservatory extends from the outer right angle. Northneuk features a similar jettied bay at the centre, with the gable of an earlier cottage situated very close to the left bay.

The southwest (Newton Lane) elevation presents a gabled facade with a jerkinhead roof above a low, harled bay, where the window has been altered.

The windows of Wingate have a four-pane and plate glass glazing pattern in timber sash and case windows. Northneuk has more modern sash and case-effect pivot glazing. The roof is covered in grey slates, and banded, coped brick stacks are present, with decorative square terracotta cans on those located centrally and to the southwest. Deeply overhanging eaves, decorative bargeboarding, and cast-iron finials adorn the dormerheads.

Inside Wingate, a good decorative scheme remains, including decorative plasterwork cornices, panelled doors and reveals, brass sash lifts and an original cast-iron bath and tap. A timber dog-leg staircase features fluted newel posts and pendant finials. The interior of Northneuk was not inspected in 2002.

Low, saddleback-coped boundary walls are present, incorporating inset decorative ironwork railings and gates.
