Description
Barbreck House, dated 1790, is a Georgian building with three storeys. It has a rendered front and rear, harled ends, and a piended slate roof with piended dormers at the ends.
The building features a projecting central pavilion made of ashlar, complete with a pediment, a coat of arms, a motto, and the date 1790, along with urns at the vertex and corners. It also has a moulded eaves course, a string course, and prominent quoins. At the rear, there is another projecting central pavilion with a pediment and a panel inscribed "Major General John Campbell of Barbreck and Janet Colquhoun, his spouse, 1790," as well as a piended wing.
Inside, Barbreck House boasts fine interiors, including a good staircase, chimney-pieces, and moulded plaster ceilings and friezes.
To the north and south of the main building, there are two one-storey gabled offices that feature urns, oculi, and Palladian windows. These offices are linked to the main block by screen walls with blind segmental arches. Additionally, there is a farm-steading around the yard at the rear, which is one storey with a loft, constructed of rubble and topped with a piended slate roof.
