Description

Glamis House is an earlier 19th-century classical house featuring two storeys and a basement. It has a rectangular plan and a piend roof, with tall single-storey pavilions. The exterior is constructed of rubble with an ashlar porch, dressed margins, and quoin strips, along with an eaves course.

On the north elevation, the central bay has a projecting porch with a panelled timber door and a decorative astragalled fanlight. There are windows on the returns and additional windows in the flanking bays, with regular fenestration on the first floor. The pavilion to the right includes a window and a timber door on the return to the left, while the left pavilion has two windows and another window on the return to the right, both featuring canted dormer additions at the attic level.

The south elevation, facing the garden, has a raised basement with a central door and windows in the flanking bays. There are overarching steps leading to the central bay door, which has been altered from a window, and features a pediment bearing a coat-of-arms and the date 1991 at ground level. The first floor has regular fenestration, with further windows on each floor of the returns and in the pavilions.

The east elevation includes a single-storey outbuilding that projects, while the west elevation features a window to the left of the centre of the projecting pavilion. The house has small-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows, grey slate roofing, and coped ashlar stacks set longitudinally, along with cast-iron downpipes and decorative rainwater hoppers.

The interior was not seen in 1998. The boundary wall to the west is a flat-coped rubble wall with droved quoins and a pedestrian door at the centre.
