Description
Ormsary House is a late 19th century building with extensions added in 1905, designed in a Scottish style. It is two storeys high with one-storey wings and attics. The exterior is harled, featuring gabled slate roofs and gabled dormers. Notable architectural elements include crow-steps, skew-putts (one dated 1905), and turrets. The south elevation has a plain classical doorway with a crest and motto above it. On the west side, there is a two-storey flat-roofed projection that includes a balustrade and a bell.
