Summary

Description

A pair of late 18th or early 19th century 2-storey traditional houses with later alterations. No.8 has three bays with a central doorway and non-traditional windows. No.10, to the north is four bays wide with an arched pend to the left and a former shop door and window to its right extending into a small single storey single bay section attached to its north gable. Built in random whinstone rubble with rough squared sandstone quoins and window margins. The roof is slated with wide stone ridge and gable stacks. There is a 20th century single storey addition to the rear of No.10.

There is a single-storey, slanted rectangular-plan rubble built former smiddy to the rear garden of No.10 which has irregular openings to its east elevation including two doors, one with a window over. It has a mono pitch roof covered in corrugated sheet material.

Statement of Special Interest

The buildings are a good example of traditional terraced housing, which survive largely in their original form to the exterior. The cart arch to the front elevation is a characterful addition and contributes to the wider group interest with the surviving blacksmith building to the rear.

They are prominent historic buildings in the Auchtermuchty streetscape. They form part of an architecturally and historically significant group of other historic buildings of similar date and type at the end of a narrow roadway (Kilnheugh).     

Statutory address and listed building record revised in 2025. Previously listed as 'Houses and Shop (Miller and Harrower) Kilnheugh'.

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.
