Balliemore Cottage

Balliemore Cottage is a notable example of prefabricated timber homes built in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs area in the later 19th century, specifically around 1874. This single-storey cottage features a piend roof and a square plan, making it historically significant and relatively rare with its picturesque quality. Originally symmetrical, it has a later addition to the north.

The cottage has four rooms and a central chimney. Its exterior is distinguished by scalloping at the corners and around the windows. The southwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, includes a central timber boarded door and bipartite windows. The northwest elevation has a timber-boarded lean-to extension, likely added in the early 20th century, which features a second entrance. The southeast elevation is blank, while the northeast has two windows.

Access to the interior was not possible during a survey in 2004, but it is assumed that the central chimney serves four angled chimneypieces, similar to an identical cottage at Glenmassan.

The materials used in Balliemore Cottage include timber framing and cladding, timber boarded doors, and timber sash and case windows. The windows have plate glass on the southwest side, four panes on the lean-to, and otherwise consist of twelve panes. The roof is slate, with a brick central stack and clay cans.
