Summary

Description

Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

Later 18th century 2-storey, 3-bay rectangular-plan house (probably raised from single storey to 2 storey in the 19th century). The house is of good streetscape value defined by its long low mass and broad side gables giving it a simple and vernacular appearance.

The main door to the principal (SE) elevation is set below the current street level with flanking windows set close to the pavement demonstrating that the street level has risen over time. The 1st floor windows are evenly spaced and arranged close to the eaves.

When entering the house one is aware of a considerable drop from the street to the floor of the house. The ground floor and 1st floor are characterised by their low ceilings and thick walls befitting a property of this age. The interior has largely been modernised and reconfigured with a large conservatory extension to the rear (NW) elevation.

The rear 1st floor elevation remains without modern interventions with windows arranged to the outerbays and an advanced gabled central outshot. The side (NE) elevation has a single storey lean-to which has latterly been extended to the rear.

Originally a passageway would have run from South Church Street between the side (SW) elevation and the rear elevation of the nearby Waterside Cottage (see separate listings). This former passageway has been filled in with a small flat roofed extension belonging to Waterside House. There is a small casement window in the SW gable.

Materials

White painted render to all elevations, multi-paned timber sash and case windows, modern uPVC main door. A pair of large, modern uPVC canted dormer windows to rear. Pitched grey slate roof with coped rendered gable apex stacks with various cans.

Statement of Special Interest

B-Group with 22 South Church Street, Waterside Cottage, South Church Street, Airlie Cottage. It should be noted that Waterside House, when initially identified as a listed building, was mistakenly referred to as 'Avonbeith, formerly Waterside House' with this error appearing on the List of Buildings of Architectural and Historic Merit. Avonbeith infact is a completely different house lying some distance behind Waterside House to the W, currently unlisted, 2004. Waterside House and the adjacent Waterside Cottage and Airlie Cottage (see separate listings) form an interesting and attractive grouping set close to the River Teith.

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.
