Description

18th century in appearance, originally a rural Laird's house;

village of Catrine was subsequently built round about. 2

storeys plus attic, south front (now) 3 bays, 4-bay rear.

2 building phases; the earlier formed a plain rectangular-

plan and gabled house presumably 1682, the date of a panel

on the rear wall. Pedimented entrance bay, with urns, added

central on south front, probably in 3rd quarter of 18th

century, forming a T-plan house, most front windows altered

then also, with raised flat margin; and consoled cills

(single ground floor window enlarged c. 1950); perhaps the

wall-heads were raised then too; main cornice to front

relates to 18th century work, though skewputts above and

main cornice at rear are probably original. Stacks are 20th

century, but include single wall-head stack at rear. Steep-

pitched slightly bell-cast slate roof. Painted rubble and

ashlar dressings. Asymmetrical low flanking wings; east wing

may be 18th century and formerly contained a bakery (its door

now partly blocked to form a window) now used as garage

with big slapping; west wing dates probably from second half

of 19th century, is longer and has corrugated sheeting to

roof.

Inside, the house retains much early work; stair is contained

within added gable, many panelled timber doors in

architraves, stone basket-arched fireplace on east gable;

cornice plasterwork; 2 niches in the 1st floor room to west.

Statement of Special Interest

Said to be the house in which Burns "dinner'd wi' a Lord"

("The Vision") (Lord Daer), when the house was occupied by

Professor Dugald Stewart though that claim is also made for

Catrine house. The area to the south was originally open,

before the railway embankment was built.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
