Summary

Description

Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, 1884. Single-storey and attic, 4-bay, rectangular-plan semi-detached pair of Arts and Crafts cottages with contemporary single-storey brick scullery annex to rear. Four symmetrical gabled bays to front (SW); single half-timbered gables to sides; dormers to attic at rear. Squared and snecked cream sandstone with ashlar dressings; rendered to first floor at front. String course to front only. 4-light slate-roofed canted windows at ground to outer bays of SW elevation; tripartite mullioned and transomed windows to inner bays; bipartite windows to 1st floor. Entrance elevations to NW and SE: timber-panelled door in shoulder-arched, roll-moulded surround; leaded fanlight above lintel; roll-moulded pointed-arch hoodmould with foliate ball stops. Small window flanking to left; 2 bipartite transomed windows above. Advanced single-shouldered stack flanking gables to SW. Large gabled timbered dormers breaking eaves to centre bays at NE elevation (rear); smaller dormers flanking; irregular fenestration to ground. Timber boarded doors to scullery annex.

Predominantly non-traditional glazing with some small-pane glazing in timber casements. Red tiled roof with deep eaves and plain barge boards to gables (including dormers). Plain corniced stacks with tall red clay cans.

BOUNDARY WALL AND GATES: ashlar coped snecked sandstone boundary wall with decorative wrought-iron gates.

Statement of Special Interest

Listed as part of the development by the Lady Flora Hastings Trust at 1-15 Barnshot Road, intended for the widows of British and Indian Officers, at the beneficence of the Marchioness of Bute. 3 pairs of semi-detached houses, each with 2 public rooms and 3 bedrooms, were built for #7000. Lady Flora (1806-39) was a Lady-in-waiting to Queen Victoria, and died of cancer when she was fairly young. The harling on the front elevations takes the place of further half-timbering, which together with the windows could hopefully be re-instated in the future.

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.
