Description

A pair of late 18th or early 19th century 2-storey traditional houses with later alterations. No.8 has three bays with a central doorway and non-traditional windows. No.10, to the north is four bays wide with an arched pend to the left and a former shop door and window to its right extending into a small single storey single bay section attached to its north gable. Built in random whinstone rubble with rough squared sandstone quoins and window margins. The roof is slated with wide stone ridge and gable stacks. There is a 20th century single storey addition to the rear of No.10.

There is a single-storey, slanted rectangular-plan rubble built former smiddy to the rear garden of No.10 which has irregular openings to its east elevation including two doors, one with a window over. It has a mono pitch roof covered in corrugated sheet material.

Statement of Interest

The buildings are a good example of traditional terraced housing, which survive largely in their original form to the exterior. The cart arch to the front elevation is a characterful addition and contributes to the wider group interest with the surviving blacksmith building to the rear.

They are prominent historic buildings in the Auchtermuchty streetscape. They form part of an architecturally and historically significant group of other historic buildings of similar date and type at the end of a narrow roadway (Kilnheugh).     

Statutory address and listed building record revised in 2025. Previously listed as 'Houses and Shop (Miller and Harrower) Kilnheugh'.
