Bearehill, 24 Castle Street, Brechin

Bearehill, located at 24 Castle Street in Brechin, is a large, symmetrical mansion originally built in the late Georgian style and remodelled in a late classical manner around 1870. The building features a three-storey ashlar front with set-back single-storey wings. It has a canted porch supported by square columns, with half-circular column insets at the splayed bays, and a balustraded parapet. The ground floor is flanked by shallow rectangular tripartite bays.

At the centre of the pedimented bay, there is a central Venetian window with a bracketed iron balcony on the second floor. The building has raised quoins, a second-floor string course, and bracketed eaves. The piended slated roof includes a central flat section topped with a decorative iron rail. Broad ashlar stacks with shaped haunches add to the architectural detail.

The north and south wings were originally identical, each featuring a pediment with lunettes; however, the north wing retains its tripartite design while the south wing has been altered to include a later canted bay. Short links connect the main block to the wings, featuring arched windows. At the back of the main block, there is a two-storey outshot with three windows and a piend roof, along with a single-storey count of outbuildings.
