Category C Date Added 04/05/2006 Local Authority Stirling Planning Authority Stirling Parish Balquhidder National Park Loch Lomond And The Trossachs NGR NN 57820 22391 Coordinates 257820, 722391 — Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority 1848. 2-storey, multi-gabled laird's house with deep, bracketed eaves, gabled 1st floor windows, gabled entrance lobby, tripartite windows to the SE elevation and a large canted bay window to the SW elevation. A good and little-altered example of an early Victorian medium-sized country house. The elevational treatment is quite plain, but the house has considerable presence when seen from its drive. The principal part of the house lies to the SE, with a slightly lower service wing behind, to the NW; some single-storey sections adjoin the rear elevation. The entrance is on the NE elevation, which has 4 bays: there is a 2-bay section to the centre, a slightly advanced gable to the left, and a lower service wing recessed to the right. The entrance porch or lobby adjoins the central section, and 3 steps lead to a low balustraded platform in front of the front door. The principal, SE, elevation is symmetrical with a central advanced gable and tripartite windows at the ground floor of the flanking bays. The SW elevation is similar to the NE elevation, with an advanced gable to the right and service wing recessed to the left. Fenestration is regular, except for a 4-light canted bay window at the ground floor of the gable. Interior: 2-leaf, half-glazed doors lead from lobby to broad central corridor, off the centre of which is a timber stair with turned balusters. The stained glass in the stair window was inserted in about 2000. Chimney pieces in principal rooms and some bedrooms. Roll-moulded cornicing and 4-panel timber doors
