Statement of Interest

Hayfield is one of a group of listed cottages in Braemar which follow the traditional character of single storey cottages with dormers and gable stacks. Built from the traditional local materials of granite rubble, slate and timber, the cottage was also constructed using traditional methods. Set in a prominent location in Auchendryne Square, the open space in the centre of Auchendryne village, Hayfield makes a positive contribution to the streetscape. Although Hayfield does not have an associated timber wee house it is one of the older examples of this building type in the area and the cottage retains many of its external original features.
