Description
Grandhome House is a mansion built in an E-plan layout, featuring harled walls and corbie-stepped gables with slated roofs. The north wing dates back to the 17th century and incorporates earlier work, consisting of two storeys. The south wing, also from the 17th century, has two storeys and features an inset panel inscribed "GP/IC 1686" along with a doorway that has a Gibbsian surround.
The two wings are connected by the west range, which is from the 18th century and has two storeys with five bays. There is a forestair leading to a door in the centre of the second storey. In 1859, the west range was extended on the east side between the wings, adding a central projecting bay with a moulded doorway inscribed "IP/EDB 1859," which is approached by a stair added in 1923. The interior of the house is notable, including a library located in the south wing.
To the west of the house, there is a garden wall featuring two gate-piers topped with ball-finials, as well as a niche with a sculptured winged head. Additionally, there is a single-storey laundry building with a low floor and corbie-stepped gables.
