Description
Alasdair is a house that was subdivided in the 20th century into four flats. It dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with extensions added in the late 19th century. The building has two storeys and a three-cell plan, with the cell on the right forming a cross-wing. It is constructed from timber framing and plaster, topped with hipped roofs covered in plain tiles, featuring a wooden dentilled eaves cornice from the 18th or 19th century. A 17th-century axial chimney made of red brick is present. The house has various late 19th-century sash and casement windows. At the rear, there are 19th-century extensions made of red brick and flint, with brick quoins and pantiled roofs. On the first floor of the main range, there is a two-bay chamber above the hall and a single-bay chamber, both showcasing complete exposed framing and signs of unglazed windows. Additionally, a large wing with a plain tiled roof was added in the 19th century to the west side of the original cross-wing.
