Description
Cairn is a house from the 18th century that was altered in the mid-19th century. It features painted brickwork and a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a brick eaves cornice along the pitched roof, which has a flat ridge and moulded gable heads. There are two hipped dormers and chimney stacks on both the left and right sides. The windows are regularly arranged, with three sash windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor, all having segmental frames and heads. The moulded frame heads include small attached key-shields. The central door consists of six raised and fielded panels, with the top two being glazed. Above the door is a rectangular fanlight, and it is topped by a flat hood supported by brackets and surrounded by moulded pilasters.
