Description

Cathedral Cottage, located at The Cross in Dunblane, is a pair of asymmetrical semi-detached cottages built in the mid-18th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. These two-storey, three-bay cottages have a rectangular plan and feature yellow sandstone rubble with sandstone dressings, although some windows and architraves at the west and rear are made of concrete. The cottages have architraved openings, and there is a base course present only on Cathedral Cottage.

On the east elevation, St Clement's Cottage is positioned to the left. It has a later 20th-century boarded timber door in the left bay, with a window in the central bay and another window in the right bay, which is asymmetrically arranged. The upper bay of the right side formerly had an entrance with a forestair. Cathedral Cottage is to the right, featuring an entrance left of center with a later 20th-century boarded timber door. There is an outline of a former window with long and short surrounds above to the right, and windows in each flanking bay that are regularly disposed, with the left bay showing remains of earlier long and short surrounds.

The west elevation has a wing with a double gable end that projects to the right, where openings have been enlarged or inserted. There is a late 20th-century glazed extension set back to the left on the ground floor, with a window above that has also been inserted or enlarged. The north elevation features a gable end that adjoins Cross Cottage, while the south elevation has a blank harled gable end that adjoins the former manse cart or carriage house at the ground floor.

The principal east elevation mainly showcases 12-pane timber sash and case windows, while the rear has a variety of replacements. The roof is covered with grey slate and features harled coped gablehead stacks at both ends, with one additional stack to the left of center on St Clement's Cottage, which has round cans.

The interior was not inspected in 2001. There is a low harled boundary wall to the principal east elevation, likely dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, with later wrought-iron railings, although it is considered to have little interest.
