Description

Circa 1910. Asymmetrical, 2-storey, 4-bay Free Style house grouped 1-2-1 with gabled bays at centre (advanced to right); conservatory addition recessed to outer left. Painted harl; overhanging eaves; coursed sandstone infills to gableheads; red tile piended roof. Timber mullions and transoms. Decorative Art Nouveau style ironwork.

E (ENTRANCE) ELEVATION: steps to part-glazed 2-leaf timber panelled door in advanced, gabled bay off-set to right of centre; consoled balcony above with Art Nouveau style iron railings; 2-leaf small-paned French door aligned at 1st floor. 3-light segmental arched window at ground in gabled bay recessed to left of entrance; 2 light window at 1st floor; slit opening centred beneath apex above. Shallow-bowed, 5-light window at ground in bay to outer left; single boat-headed dormer breaking eaves above. Single bay recessed to outer right comprising 3 regularly disposed windows at ground; 2 light box-dormer breaking eaves above.

Replacement small-pane leaded glazing throughout. Red tile roof; cast-iron rainwater goods. Coped, harled ridge stacks flanking centre; circular terracotta cans.

INTERIOR: timber panelling; timber balustraded stair with ball finialed timber newels. Some decorative plasterwork to ceilings; various timber and plaster cornices; timber fireplace with sculpted egg-and-dart banding.

BOUNDARY WALL, GATEPIERS AND GATES: sandstone coping to stepped, harled wall enclosing site. Square-plan piers flanking pedestrian and vehicular entrances; polished coping; polished ball shaped finials; Art Nouveau detailing to iron gates.

Statement of Special Interest

Despite its replacement glazing and additional conservatory, Scotswood has retained some interesting features - most obviously its Art Nouveau-inspired ironwork. That above the entrance is original, the gates are recent imitations. Other notable details include its overhanging eaves, contrasting harl and red tiles and boat-headed dormer. The Valuation Roll records a Mrs Annie Cruddas, widow, as Scotswood's first occupant.

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.
