St Brandon House, Boyndie

St Brandon House in Boyndie was built between 1841 and 1842 in the style of William Robertson from Elgin. This two-storey house, which has a raised basement, is square in plan and features three bays on the front and three bays on the east and west elevations. The exterior is harled with tooled ashlar margins, tooled granite angle margins, and polished ashlar dressings.

The entrance is centrally located and has a cornice and pediment, adorned with painted demi-anthemion acroteria, and is accessed by a flight of steps with a solid ashlar balustrade that overhangs the raised basement. The windows on the raised ground floor are tall and feature decorative cast-iron guards, with some windows being blind on the east and west return elevations. At the rear, there is a projecting pedimented centre bay that accommodates the stairwell. The windows have 12-pane glazing, except for a single window on each return elevation that has been replaced with 4-pane glazing. The roof is a piended platform covered with local slate, featuring paired corniced stacks and a central glazed top light.

Inside, the entrance lobby leads to a stair hall that is illuminated from above. To the right is the drawing room, which has a plain white painted chimneypiece and a simple corniced ceiling. To the left is a study, which may have been a former dining room. The staircase leads to the first-floor landing, from which the bedrooms are accessed through round-headed arches. There is also a central oval balustrated light-well, which has been glazed.
