Summary

Description

House late 18th century; attached outbuilding possibly slightly later; both with alterations; former outbuilding attached to E extended and converted to cottage (not included in listing) late 20th century. 2-storey; long 3-bay; rectangular-plan house; built into sloping ground. Harled with ashlar dressings (cills to front (S) windows and coped gables with beaked skewputts). Lower-height 2-storey; 4-bay; rectangular-plan outbuilding (probably granary) attached to W. Sandstone rubble with partially droved sandstone dressings.

S ELEVATION: entrance to house to right of central bay; shallow mid-20th century flat-roofed porch with replacement panelled timber door. Window above and to flanking bays to each floor; that to right of ground floor has been altered to door late 20th century. Single storey former outhouse (now cottage) attached to right. Rubble outbuilding attached to left. Pair of large cart openings (with late 20th century inserted doors) to outer left bays; full-height vennel to right; entrance with timber door to outer right. Regular fenestration to upper storey; low-height window to each bay.

N ELEVATION: irregular fenestration of house. Late 20th entrance porch to central bay; flanking windows to outer bays. 1st floor windows to central and left bays. Rubble outhouse set forward slightly to right. Large vennel entrance to left of centre. Former window to left and low-height window above to each bay, all bricked up. Much altered lower-height range projects forward to outer right and returns to form yard to N (of little interest owing to alterations).

2 and 4-pane timber sash and case windows to house. Grey slate roof. Coped gablehead stacks and one to ridge; round cans. Piended pantiled roof to outbuilding.

Statement of Special Interest

Appears on 1856 OS Map. Part of a small group of early buildings formerly including a corn mill (to S of house). Part of a side wall and a single-storey sandstone rubble shed attached to it are all that remains of this structure (1999). It is likely that grain for the mill was stored in the W outbuilding, where it would have received some ventilation from the partially open-walled cartshed below. See separate list description for adjacent Woodmill Bridge.

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.
