INTERIOR: good Arts and Crafts decorative scheme in place. Inner glazed door and side screen with fine coloured stained glass panels. Geometric floor tiles to hall, timber stairs with turned banisters. Carved timber chimneypieces and delicate cornicing.

Statement of Interest

Good example of a well proportioned small early Edwardian Arts and Crafts Villa with some fine detailing to the exterior elevations and forming a strong pairing with the large adjacent villa, The Pines (see separate listing) designed by James B Dunn. Both villas are prominently sited high on St Ronan's Terrace overlooking the town.

Tiendside survives in largely its original condition and setting with a large cottage style garden laid out to the rear. Although there is no known architect the building has a strong distinctive style of considerable merit. It is possible that it may be by the same architect as The Pines.
