Description

St Mary's Cottage, located at St Mary's Church on Perth Road in Dunblane, dates from around 1870. It is a two-storey, three-bay, symmetrical, L-plan gabled manse featuring steeply pitched gables that break the eaves at the outer bays. The exterior is constructed of squared and snecked whinstone with yellow sandstone ashlar margins, and includes a base course and eaves course. The building has barge boarded, overhanging eaves with exposed rafters, and long and short quoins. The windows are architraved with projecting cills, and there are blind arrowslits at the gableheads.

On the west (principal) elevation, stone steps lead up to a central timber panelled door topped with a letterbox fanlight. This door is framed by a moulded architrave and a projecting pediment. There is a small window at the centre of the first floor. The entrance is flanked by symmetrical, slightly advanced gabled bays, with an advanced canted bay on the ground floor of the left bay.

The east (rear) elevation features a blind gable end. The north (side) elevation has irregular fenestration with a door at the centre. To the right, there is a two-storey, advanced gabled bay, and to the left return, a small single-storey, advanced gabled bay.

The south (garden) elevation has four bays, with two bays at the centre, two small windows on the second storey, and a single large window on the first storey to the right. There are broad flanking gabled bays, a single-storey advanced window bay to the left, and a glazed door to the right of the bay on the right.

The windows are predominantly 12-pane, timber-framed, sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slates and features lead flashing, while the building has cast-iron rainwater goods and coped gable stacks.

The interior was not seen in 2001. The boundary wall is a coped rubble wall.
