Description

Inchgarth House was originally built around 1862 and underwent significant extensions and internal alterations by architect Alexander Marshall Mackenzie in 1897. This two-storey building has a roughly rectangular plan and features a curved single-storey Ionic portico at the south elevation, along with several deep-set pediments at the top of the walls. Constructed from Aberdeen bonded granite, it includes a base course, quoined corners, a cornice, and raised cills. The east elevation has an advanced single-storey entrance porch with a two-leaf timber entrance door. On the west elevation, there is a single-storey tripartite bay window on the right and a curved two-storey bay on the left.

The windows are mainly fitted with four-pane glazing in timber sash and case frames. The roof is covered with grey slates and features a coped ridge along with tall wallhead chimney stacks that have decorative panels.

The interior was partially observed in 2014 and includes a large timber panelled hall with parquet flooring, a timber staircase with decorative balusters and newel posts, and a round-arched screen supported by fluted Ionic timber columns. Sales particulars from 2014 indicate that other rooms also have extensive timber panelling and some carved timber fire surrounds.

To the southwest of the house, there is a curved rubble retaining wall that forms a garden terrace, complete with a balustrade and a central set of steps.
