Description

Landour is a house dated 1850, likely designed by Walter Scott. It is built of yellow brick with some stone dressings and features a Welsh slate roof laid diagonally. The house has two storeys with attics and is designed in a "Jacobethan" style, with a square plan.

The elevation facing Palm Grove consists of three bays, featuring outer Dutch gables, with the right-hand gable being advanced. There is a central entrance that includes an elaborately panelled door and a star-traceried overlight set within a round arched architrave supported by banded shafts. The left-hand bay has paired two-pane sash windows topped with a strapwork cornice, while the right-hand gable, which forms the side elevation to Grosvenor Place, is blank but has stacks corbelled out at the apex.

The elevation to Grosvenor Place presents two gabled bays, each with a squared bay window on the ground floor that contains three and four mullioned and transomed lights. The pilasters and cornice of these bays are decorated with low-relief strapwork. On the first floor, there are mullioned and transomed Venetian windows, which feature a stressed hood mould and keyblock. Additionally, there is a small round-arched sash window in a pedimented case located in the narrow central bay between the gables. A strapwork parapet runs along the eaves level, connecting the Dutch coped gables.
