Description
Ury House is a country house, largely dating from 1855 and with an addition made in 1884. It was originally designed by John Baird of Glasgow. Now a roofless shell, the roof was removed after the Second World War. The house is constructed of ashlar stone, with sculpted detailing.
The original house is in a revived English Tudor/Jacobean style, characterised by an off-centre, tall square entrance tower with a porch-cochere. The main block has two and three storeys, with a variety of window openings, chiefly hood-moulded, and often mullioned. Some windows are canted or oriel. A large, mullioned and transomed window on the right-hand side of the tower likely lit a grand hall. Gabled dormer heads extend above the eaves, and bays projecting from the main wall are also gabled. Other details include engaged angle shafts, parapets, and stacks. The double-gabled return elevation to the right appears almost like a villa.
A wing was added to the left-hand side of the main front, breaching the front wall. This wing features a pair of crow-stepped gables and a buttressed, stepped, channeled, and rock-faced terrace wall.
