Description
Blair House is a pair of houses dating from the early 17th century. They are timber framed with rendered wattle and daub infill and have a pantiled roof. The building stands two storeys high. The left bay is rebated to correspond with the cross frame. There are doors on both the left and right sides. On the ground floor, there are four windows; three on the left are sashes with glazing bars, while the one on the right is a 20th-century casement. The first floor features three groups of windows arranged in a 2-3-2 formation, likely in their original openings. The roof is steeply pitched and gabled, with a square ridge stack positioned to the right of centre and an additional auxiliary stack on the left side of the rear roof slope. The rear includes an outshut and a gabled cross wing to the south, which has an internal end stack. There is also one gabled dormer on the main range.
