Summary

Description

A single-storey, four-bay house, rebuilt in 1909, with a steeply sloped gabled attic and gablet dormer. The walls are harled with a base course, and the openings have stop-chamfered margins and cills. The graded roof is slated with later 20th century flat dormers to the rear (west) and there is a corniced gablehead chimney to the south. The skews are saw-toothed with bracketted skewputts and trefoil finials to the gable apexes. There is a modern extension to the rear elevation. The multi-pane glazing was replaced with single-pane timber units after 2009. The building forms part of a terrace of late-18th century, largely single-storey dwellings in Creebridge, located directly to the east of the river in Newton Stewart.

Statement of Special Interest

10 Creebridge meets the criteria for listing for the following reasons:

• The building is a distinctive example of an early 20^th century redevelopment of an earlier traditional house that retains its historic character, particularly to the front elevation.
• The building is well-detailed and shows features of definite architectural quality, including the corniced chimneys, the stepped skews and the treatment of the openings.
• The prominent wallhead gable and dormer arrangement, is a distinctive regional variation, which is enhanced by the stone detailing.
• The building has been extended to the rear but it retains a good degree of authenticity in its surviving exterior form and its historic character has not been adversely affected by later alterations.
• Its early 20^th century setting is largely intact and forms part of an architecturally and historically significant group of other listed dwellings along the street, which are largely earlier in date.
• It is not a rare or early example of its building type but its design quality and level of detailing is notable for domestic buildings of this date and type within the region.

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.
