Summary

Description

The two adjoining properties at 2 and 4 Newburgh Road, Auchtermuchty are late 18^th century, single storey, three-bay cottages, each with two windows and centre door. They are rubble-built with 12-pane timber sash and case windows and red pantiled roofs (formerly thatched) with ashlar skews. No. 2 has a scrolled skewputt to the south gable. No. 4 has a small attic window to the north gable. Both cottages have rubble end chimney stacks and there is one central stack. The interior was not seen (2021).

Statement of Special Interest

2 and 4 Newburgh Road largely retain their historic character as late 18^th cottages of traditional build and appearance. They are prominently located on one of the main roads leading into Auchtermuchty from the north. Auchtermuchty expanded during the 18^th century when it became a centre for linen manufacture, and again during the mid 19^th century. The setting is little altered since the 19^th century in terms of street pattern and distribution of 18th–19th century buildings. While single-storey cottages of this period survive in large numbers throughout Scotland, those that are little-altered, and which retain their historic setting may be considered for listing. While No. 2 Newburgh Road no longer has a thatched roof (replaced after 1972), the properties continue to be of special architectural and historic interest as representative examples of their late 18^th century date.

Statutory address and listed building record revised 2021. Previously listed as 'Houses ('Bonskeid' and A T Carswell's, Mrs Urquhart, Tenant) Newburgh Road'.

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.
