Tayvallich House, Fowlis Easter

An earlier 19th-century Italianate former factor's house, standing two storeys high. The main rectangular block features three bays and is characterised by deep eaves and gabled detailing. The exterior is constructed of coursed rubble with droved and margined ashlar dressings, topped with a slate roof. Many windows now have fixed plate glass and 4-pane sash and case windows, although one ground-floor window on the east gable retains the original 12-pane pattern, painted to resemble the original design. The windows have shallow segmental lintels and slab canopies over the ground floor. The eaves are unusually deep, originally exposing purlins and brackets which are now enclosed. Corniced end stacks rise through the eaves.

The south elevation features an advanced porch with a partially glazed door and fanlight, and a shallow-pitched, deep-eaved roof. There are windows on either side of the main elevation, with two windows on the first floor. A small, blocked window sits centrally on the ground floor. Decorative mask motifs adorn the apex of the dormerheads.

The east gable has a central window on both the ground and first floors, with a single-storey addition to the right. The west gable contains a central window on both floors, with a modern glazed addition projecting to the left.

The north elevation has unsympathetic harled and tile-hung additions with flat roofs.

The interior has been modernised, and original chimney pieces have been removed.

A single-storey, rectangular-plan coach house and stable, dated 1832, forms an L-shape thanks to an addition to the east, dated 1877. Constructed of rubble with droved and margined ashlar dressings to the original buildings and stugged stone to the later addition, it has a piended slate roof. The original building features boarded doors with three-pane glazing to the top. A corniced ridge stack is located on the 1877 addition. The south elevation has four doors positioned asymmetrically, with a door to the left flanked by two small glazed apertures, and a four-pane window between the centre doors. A large, two-leaf coach house door is located on the left return gable, with a lintel dated 1832. A later gable is advanced to the far right, featuring a door and a large sliding door to the left return. The east elevation has a blocked hen house entrance with a platform above, and removed steps. The north elevation contains two doorways. The interior has been altered, and the east end of the original block has stone setts on the byre floor.

Rubble-coped rubble boundary walls, curved to the main entrance, enclose the property.
