Summary

Description

Possibly late 17th century with later alterations. 2-storey and attic, 3-bay, rectangular-plan house with steeply pitched roof and the remains of pigeon loft in E gable. Random rubble with ashlar dressings (see Notes). Long and short quoins. Irregular fenestration to principal (SW) elevation; ashlar window margins.

Non-traditional glazing. Remains of stack to E gable. Ashlar-coped skews (See Notes). Grey slates; skylights to NE.

Statement of Special Interest

B-Group with 'Mousemill Road, Clydesholm Bridge'.

This building is of interest because of its early date and proximity to Clydesholm Bridge. It was perhaps built about the same time as the bridge or a little earlier. The stonework is similar to that of the bridge and an early date is suggested by the slit windows in SW and SE elevations as well as the remains of the pigeon loft. The skews and margins were replaced when it was returned to domestic use in the 1990s.

The building was almost certainly originally a house, but was used as a barn for a number of years, probably from the mid-19th century. The Ordnance Survey Name Books make no mention of a two-storey dwelling house at Bridgend, only describing single storey thatched dwellings, and this suggests that it was in use as a barn by that date. Early 20th century photographs show a farmed area to the SE of the building adjacent to the Clyde and a range of outbuildings to the S of the property. The farmhouse may have been the house positioned to the NW. Evidence that it was originally a house and not a barn is provided by the vestiges of a stack to the SE gable. By the 1990s the building had become derelict and was converted back to residential use by the current owners in the early 1990s.

Previously listed as 'Mousemill Road, Barn at Bridge End'.

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.
