Garmaddie Cottage

Garmaddie Cottage is a picturesque single-storey and attic cottage built in 1855, likely by William Smith, with later additions and alterations. The cottage features Tudor details and is constructed from squared, variegated granite with pinning (cherry caulking) at intervals, and has a partial base course with chamfered arrises and timber mullions.

On the southeast elevation, there is a broad gabled bay to the left of center, which includes a bipartite window with a hoodmould and a smaller bipartite window in the gablehead. To the right, there is a slightly recessed entrance bay with a small window and a 2-pane fanlight above the door. An open timber porch with a gabled roof supported by tree trunk columns and hoop railings is located to the outer right, with a bipartite window behind it. The outer bay to the left is a sympathetic later addition, recessed and featuring a bipartite window.

The northeast elevation has an advanced gabled bay to the left with a bipartite window, indicating that the gable has been raised for the attic. To the right, there is a recessed bipartite window.

On the northwest elevation, there is an advanced gabled bay to the left that is blank, and a less advanced gabled bay at the center which oversteps a projecting bay to the left. This bay has a door flanked by two small irregular windows, with a recessed bipartite window in the extension to the right.

The southwest elevation features a lean-to conservatory that abuts the gable end. The cottage has plate glass glazing in sash and case windows, with a 4-pane window in a piend-roofed slate-hung dormer at the rear. The roof is covered with purple and grey slates and includes modern rooflights. Decorative timber barge boards adorn the principal gables, featuring kingposts and attenuated finials, along with stone stacks.

There is a small, gabled, rectangular-plan outbuilding, possibly a wash-house, located to the north of the cottage. It is constructed from rubble granite with harl pointing and has ashlar coped skews. The outbuilding has a door to the left of the southwest gable, a small window with small-pane sash and case glazing, and a smaller opening on the northwest elevation, while the northeast gable is blank. It features a brick chimney on the northeast side and is also covered with grey slates and has ashlar coped skews, along with a rooflight.
