Swinhopeburn Court House

Swinhopeburn Court House is a house dating from the early to late 17th century. It is constructed from coursed sandstone and limestone rubble, featuring an irregular plinth, some quoins, and ashlar dressings. The stone-flagged roof has stone gable copings, and the left chimney is rendered. The building consists of two sections; the second section on the left is 2½ storeys high with three bays, while the first section is 2 storeys with two wide bays. There is a small one-storey outhouse on the left.

The taller left section has a central four-panel door with an overlight beneath a thin stone lintel. Similar lintels and roughly-dressed sills are present on late 19th-century sash windows on the ground and first floors in the outer bays. The top floor features two small four-pane fixed lights with thin stone shelf sills, and there is a blocked three-light stone-mullioned window above the door. The roof has irregular gable copings and a square chimney at the right end, while the left return gable has a massive external stack.

The two-storey first section has a chamfered round-cornered blocked doorway at the extreme left, with alternate-block jambs, where the left forms quoins for the second section. There is a wide tooled surround to the central door with round-headed panels, and late 19th-century sashes are located between the doors and on the first floor, featuring thin stone sills and lintels. A square-headed window in a plain stone surround on the right has shutter-pin holes. There is a massive square stack with a domed top to the left of centre, and a right end square stack. The rear elevation shows a two-storey, two-bay wing on the second section, with a small chamfered light in the return and in the adjacent rear wall. The interior has not been inspected.
