Description

Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

A traditional 2-storey, 3 bay simple house with good streetscape value. Like other houses in the locality, the entrance elevation is turned away from the street and faces the garden to the rear. The owner is in possession of deeds dating the house to around 1780, it is probable that it was originally a single storey cottage heightened and refashioned at some point in the 19th century.

Near symmetrical (NE) street elevation apart from a dominant 1st floor large corbelled canted oriel window similar to that of nearby 192 Main Street, Murdiston House (see separate listing). The oriel window was constructed possibly at the time the house was enlarged to offer light and views to a 1st floor drawing room. It is interesting to note that the house sits slightly below the present street level.

The SE gable is blank with a driveway leading to the rear of the property, the NW gable is attached to the adjacent 166 and 168 Main Street (currently unlisted, 2004).

The principal entrance elevation set to the rear (SW) elevation is symmetrically disposed. The gabled porch at the ground floor appears on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map, it has undergone some modernisation. To both the street and garden elevation the windows to the 1st floor are set at eaves.

Interior

The interior retains some 19th century features including timber panelled doors, working shutters, cast iron stair balusters and cornice work to some rooms.

Materials

Probably random rubble 'pudding stone' with lined cement finish to the street and SE gable creating the effect of squared coursed stone. Painted render to garden elevation. Raised margins to windows and raised margin to E street arris. Predominantly late 20th century replacement multi-paned timber sash and case windows. Pitched grey slate roof with simple timber bargeboard to SE gable. Small rebuilt brick gable apex stack with single can to SE, larger rendered gable apex stack to NW.

Boundary Wall and Gatepiers

The rear garden is bounded by a stone rubble wall with copes set on end to all 3 sides. Square-plan rubble gatepiers set on the angle give access to the rear.

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.
