Description

The Trossachs is a house dating from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed with a timber frame, now plastered, and has a roof covered in handmade red clay tiles. The house has three bays facing north, with a stack behind the central bay, forming a lobby entrance. There are single-storey extensions to the rear and rear left, with flat roofs.

The house is two storeys high, with attics. The ground floor has two splayed bays featuring 20th-century sash windows. The first floor has three 20th-century sash windows, and the attic has three 20th-century sash windows within gabled dormers. A 20th-century gabled porch shelters the central entrance door.

Inside, original features include jowled posts, close studding, chamfered axial beams with step stops, and plain joists. There are diamond mortices, suggesting earlier unglazed windows, on the right side of the building, along with visible wattle grooves. A large wood-burning hearth has been altered and is located to the right of the stack and a similar hearth to the left has been reduced for a 20th-century grate. A winder stair, likely original, is positioned in front of the stack. The house was known as Moones in 1828.
