Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology were commissioned by Hunter Architecture to carry out historic buildings recording at Gamekeepers Cottage, Crookston Mill near Heriot, in the Scottish Borders, prior to its renovation and extension. A planning application for the work was granted on 11th September 2013 (ref. 12/00976/FUL). A condition attached to the consent stated that the historical building survey be carried out prior to the renovation and extension. The survey was undertaken on Tuesday the 22nd of October in mixed dry and bright, then wet weather conditions. A complete photographic survey of the exterior and the ground floor of the building was undertaken. A more limited record was made of the first floor due to the floors being unsafe; all photographs were taken from a safe area at the top of the staircase. The walls were closely inspected for alterations, blocked openings and earlier finishes and features. These were then recorded at a scale of 1:50 on the existing architect's drawings. The main fabric of the cottage appears to be of a single phase, however over time alterations have been made both internally and externally. A date stone is visible on the eastern gable just below the chimney showing a date of 1793,. There are initials above the date which were not possible to read from the ground. At the rear of the cottage a large patch of warm yellow coloured lime harl survives showing how the cottage would have looked at an earlier period. The front and side elevations are smeared with a hard grey cement of much later date. Internally all four rooms have retained their fireplaces. The area around the fireplace in room a shows at least one phase of alteration. |
