Kirk Bride Cottage, Thatched

Archaeology

This pair of thatched cottages has been formed into one dwelling parallel to the road. The whitewashed stone walls are buttressed on the road facade (possibly to prevent deterioration through traffic vibration). In spite of this, the authentic atmosphere is still maintained in the character of the structure and the Ayre rush thatch. Two chimneys (separate) project through the center and north gable ridge respectively and the window and door rectangular openings have been retained in their original locations although the fitments are new. No interior inspection has been performed. The state of repair seems to be very good. This cottage is within a hundred metres of another of similar type.
