Description

Gardener's Cottage at Kimmerghame House is a single-storey cottage with an attic, built in the early 19th century, likely by William Burn, and has undergone later alterations and additions. The cottage features a three-bay design, constructed from squared and snecked ashlar with droved chamfered arrises, while the rear is made of rubble. It has a base course.

On the southwest elevation, there is an advanced ashlar gabled porch with a shoulder-arched entrance and a timber finial. The porch contains a strip-panelled timber door in a Tudor arch, with an ashlar seat on either side inside. Each return elevation of the porch has a tripartite (unglazed) opening, and there is a blank bay to the left. To the right, an advanced gabled bay features a three-light window at ground level and a three-light strip window in the gablehead.

The southeast elevation has a four-bay arrangement grouped in two pairs. The left two-bay group is slightly advanced, with a window in the left bay, while the right pair includes a partly-glazed door bay. Each of the two-bay group to the right has a window.

The northeast elevation is a two-bay, M-gabled design, with the right bay slightly advanced and its gable overlapping the left bay. There is a small single-storey addition to the left of the right bay, featuring a boarded door, and a half-piended single-storey addition with a small window to the outer right. Above, there is a window in the gablehead.

The cottage has a variety of windows, primarily timber three-pane casement windows, with a timber sliding three-pane window in the gablehead on the southwest side. The slate roof is topped with an ashlar shouldered and coped stack located to the right of centre. The gables have plain bargeboarding, and exposed rafters are visible at the eaves.

The interior was not seen in 1996.
