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.
