Outbuilding

Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

1. 2-storey, L-plan, gabled villa with decorative bargeboards, deep bracketed eaves, corner turret, canted windows and decorative cast-iron finials to gables and turret. This is a compact, but well-designed villa with very good architectural detailing. It occupies a prominent position on the main road through St Fillans and makes a positive contribution to the streetscape.

L-plan villa with advanced gables to SW (principal) and SE (side) elevations, with conical-roofed stair turret at right corner of principal elevation and stone porch with timber-boarded front door in re-entrant angle. There is a 4-light canted window with slate roof to SW gable, and a bipartite window above it. Over the porch is a small oculus window; the upper part of the stair is lit by 3 staggered narrow windows. At the ground floor of the SE gable is an unusual 2-light canted window with a blind panel between the lights. The NE (rear) elevation has a gable to the right hand side, and a single-storey service outshot across the ground floor. It is irregularly fenestrated and there is a timber-boarded back door at the centre of the service outshot. The NW (side) elevation is unfenestrated except for a narrow window at the ground floor and a small dormer with very deep eaves to the roof. The house has a base course, long and short quoins, and window margins, and stop-chamfered openings. The bargeboards have pierced decoration and are supported on paired brackets. The chimney stacks are corniced and have decorative clay cans.

Interior: curved timber staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters and mahogany handrail. Timber chimneypieces and working timber shutters in 2 principal rooms. Timber panelled interior doors and cornicing throughout.

Materials: squared, snecked whinstone with cream sandstone dressings; random rubble masonry to rear. Timber sash and case windows with predominantly plate glass glazing. Graded grey slate roof.

Boundary Walls, Railings, Gatepiers and Gate: ashlar-coped random rubble boundary wall to street; decorative cast iron railings

above wall with anthemion and daisy motifs. Cast iron gatepiers; probably later wrought iron gate.

Ancillary Building: 3-door ancillary outbuilding behind house. Slate roof; timber-boarded doors; chamfered ashlar door architraves. Boathouse of circa 1930; stone with piended slate roof.
