Summary

Description

Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

Single storey and attic, 3-bay square-plan house of good streetscape value. Probably containing some late 18th/early 19th century fabric. Altered in the mid 19th and 20th centuries. When built the house perhaps bore no link to the nearby Roman Camp Hotel (see separate listing). However at some later stage it has been adopted as its lodge/gatehouse due to its location at the head of a driveway leading from the Main Street to the Roman Camp Hotel.

Symmetrical arrangement to principle (NE) street elevation; windows to outer bays at ground floor with large rectangular dormer windows at eaves to attic. Modern extension to the rear (SW).

Small circular-plan turret set on the angle of the NE/SE elevation, supported on corbels rising above the eaves level (probably 20th century). There is a carved sandstone panel recessed slightly into the turret; shield with inscription 'The Camp House' surmounted by a carved coronet.

Materials

Pink painted render with painted stone dressings. Modern timber door, timber sash and case windows to original house, modern fenestration to rear extension. Piended roofs to dormers. Pitched roof with grey slates, coped ashlar gable apex stack to SE elevation with 2 circular clay cans. Slated cap roof and apex lead flashing to turret.

Boundary Wall, Rustic Arch and Gate

Rubble boundary wall to head height with end-on rubble copes. The wall leads down from 182 Main Street and runs alongside the drive to the hotel. There is a similar corresponding boundary wall on the opposite side belonging to 184 Main Street. A rustic rubble arch (probably early 20th century) spanning the drive is incorporated into the wall; consisting of rough rubble flanking supports built to both sides of the wall, supporting a slender rubble segmental arch. A decorative wrought iron gate (probably early 20th century) is situated at the arch. The boundary wall to 182 runs a considerable distance further to the SW, terminating at an open meadow.

Statement of Special Interest

B-Group with Roman Camp Hotel and Roman Camp Hotel Walled Garden. The 1st edition Ordnance Survey map shows No 182 stretching longer along Main Street than it currently does (2004). Consulting the 2nd edition map it is clear that it was reduced in size to accommodate 178/180 Main Street in the later 19th century. The house was probably originally a single storey cottage raised up in the mid 19th century.

The Roman Camp Hotel, a private house till 1937, was purchased by Reginald Brett, 2nd Viscount Esher, in 1897. Esher set about on a vigorous improvement scheme on the house and the surrounding environs. It was probably during his ownership in the early 20th century that 182 Main Street was adopted as the lodge with the tower being added. It was probably also at this time that the rustic arch was built to add interest and formality to the driveway. The house now offers accommodation for hotel employees (2004).

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.
