Corrachree

Corrachree is a late neo-classical villa built in 1842 for Lieutenant Colonel John Farquharson of the East India Company. Around 1880, a porch and a rear wing were added. The villa is two storeys high, with a rectangular plan and a gabled design. It has three bays and is constructed from harled granite, with a base course and eaves course. Exposed granite surrounds the windows. The fenestration is regular, with tall rectangular windows on the ground floor and smaller rectangular windows above.

The southwest (principal) elevation features stone steps leading to a two-leaf, glazed timber door, centrally positioned within a slightly projecting bay that terminates in a small pediment breaking the eaves. Flanking the entrance are paired columns that support a full entablature and a balustraded parapet. The northeast (rear) elevation has a single window on the upper storey and a rear wing abutting to the outer left. The northwest (side) elevation has a double bay gable end with regular fenestration and an eaves height string course; a rear wing abuts to the right. The southeast (side) elevation mirrors the northwest elevation.

A two-storey, L-plan wing abuts the rear of the main house to the left, forming a courtyard to the northwest. This wing has regular fenestration, spur finials on the gables, and stacks along the rear wallhead. Predominantly 12-pane sash and case windows are present throughout, with grey slates and lead flashing. Coped skews feature scrolled skewputts and coped gable stacks.

The interior was not inspected in 2002.

Historical photographs from the 1970s show that the harling is a recent addition, and that the balustraded parapet on the porch replaced earlier cast-iron railings. A single-storey, columned cloister range has also been removed from the courtyard. The villa lies on the edge of Tarland village, but falls within the parish of Logie Coldstone due to the historic parish boundary along the Whitely Burn.
