Description
Troy House is a house dating to around 1790. It is constructed of brick with Welsh slate hipped roofs. The house has a double-depth plan and features central, rear, and internal lateral stacks, the rear stacks being truncated. The building is three storeys high.
The front elevation is symmetrical with three bays. It has full-height canted side bays, the windows being hornless sashes. The window arrangement is six panes over twelve panes on the second floor, eight panes over sixteen panes on the first floor, and eight panes over twelve panes on the ground floor, all set beneath moulded wooden cornices. External shutters are present on the ground floor. The central doorway is round-headed, recessed, with an impost band, a fanlight, and a panelled door. The upper floors have nine-pane and twelve-pane hornless sashes in the central bay. A parapet is present, with stone coing returns to the left side only.
The side elevation towards Union Street has large, later windows which are now blocked, with only the sills remaining. One small, modern plate-glass window is visible on the ground floor. A single-storey extension to the right has blocked windows facing Eastrow, but retains sash windows on its main side elevation.
