Gareloch House, Clynder

Gareloch House is a 2-storey, 3-bay classical style villa built in 1817. It is located near the east shore of the Gareloch, between the villages of Rosneath and Clynder on the Rosneath Peninsula in Argyll.

The house features a mix of whinstone and sandstone rubble, with stugged sandstone ashlar dressings, strip quoins, and raised margins. Its shallow piended roof has a projecting eaves cornice adorned with carved mutule decoration. The side elevations, which are northwest and southeast, include entrance doorways and sandstone ashlar chimneystacks topped with stepped pediments and clay cans. The southwest (rear) elevation has half-piended out-shots on both the outer right and outer left. The windows are timber sash and case with a 12-pane glazing pattern, and the roof is covered with grey slate and lead flashings.

The interior, as shown in photographs from 2017, has a narrow central hallway with a plain staircase at the southeast end. Most rooms feature simple moulded cornicing. The former drawing and sitting rooms are highlighted by veined grey and black marble fireplaces, which include pairs of fluted pilasters and decorative mantels.

A low rubble boundary wall runs along Shore Road, topped with rounded rubble coping stones and simple rubble gatepiers.

The listing excludes the garage addition at the rear.
