Description

Castleloch, located at Dundas Castle, is an earlier 19th-century cottage with an early 20th-century addition. It is a single-storey building over a raised basement, set on sloping ground, featuring a 3-bay asymmetrical design with classical details. The walls are harled, complemented by droved sandstone ashlar dressings. The structure includes a base course at the basement level, a band course at the principal floor, a mutuled cornice, and a blocking course at the eaves. The doors and corners are margined, and the windows have projecting cills, with bracketted and corniced lintels.

The south elevation is asymmetrical with three bays, featuring a central 6-panel timber door flanked by a 2-pane fanlight and a window in the left bay, while the right bay has a recessed window. The west elevation has a two-storey asymmetrical addition that is irregularly fenestrated, with an entrance door to the basement located in the re-entrant angle to the north. The north elevation is near-symmetrical and regularly fenestrated, showcasing a two-storey, two-bay design with a vertically-boarded timber door and a 2-pane fanlight in a single-storey porch to the left. The east elevation is also asymmetrical, featuring a semicircular bow advanced at the principal floor to the left of centre, and a blank end wall of the porch advanced to the basement on the right.

The windows are 4-pane timber sash and case. The roofs are covered with purple grey slate and have piended designs on both the principal block and the wing. There is a single 5-flue stack on the principal ridge, which has a harled shaft with canted ends, topped with a stone cope and octagonal and circular cans.

Additionally, there is an ice house built into the bank to the east of the house, constructed of random rubble, featuring a central door and a vault within.
