Statement of Interest

See also list descriptions for Nos 3 and 5, Avondale & Gasworks House, all Burnside.

These two houses form a good piece of townscape architecture that is characteristic of Auchtermuchty, particularly in the use of whinstone.

It is difficult to precisely date the houses, although there are buildings on this site on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map. The stop-chamfers and quoins are certainly part of later aggrandising work.
