Description
13 Royal Terrace in Linlithgow is a traditional cottage dating from around 1800. It is a single-storey building with three bays, constructed from whinstone rubble and featuring dressed sandstone ashlar for the dressings. The cottage has a base course, a raised door, and angle margins.
On the south elevation, which serves as the entrance, there is a deep-set fanlit door and windows located in the outer bays. The north elevation, facing the street, includes a small pointed window with a Gothick glazing pattern at the center, flanked by additional windows. There is a later harled porch that projects at a right angle on the outer right side, featuring a door on the left return and a modern window on the north face, topped with grey slates.
The north elevation has 12-pane sash and case windows, while the south elevation has aluminium windows. The roof is modern and pantiled, with three Velux rooflights on the south side, ashlar coped skews, scrolled skewputts, and chimney stacks at the gables.
The property is enclosed by boundary walls made of coped sandstone rubble, with gatepiers that have chamfered angles and moulded ashlar caps, although one cap on the left pier is missing.
