Description
Cameron Bank is a late 18th century, two-storey and attic, three-bay classical villa with an L-plan, featuring a single-storey extension at the rear. There is an outbuilding of similar age. The house is constructed from coursed cream sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, while the outbuilding is made of rubble. The entrance elevation faces south and includes a central corniced doorway with a panelled timber door and a plate glass fanlight. Above the entrance, there is a single window on the first floor, with additional windows in the outer bays on both floors.
The villa has predominantly 12-pane timber sash and case windows throughout, with some blind windows on the east and west gables. The attic features a pair of piended box dormers with 4-pane windows facing north. The roof is covered with grey slate and has pitched sections, corniced wallhead stacks, and straight skews with skewputts.
The interior, last seen in 2015, retains its late 18th century plan form with minimal alterations. It features simple cornicing in the principal rooms, several fireplaces, and surviving panelled doors and window shutters. Timber dog leg staircases lead to the first and attic floors, with a simple timber banister and decorative cast iron railings.
The outbuilding, dating from the same period as the house, served as former stables and a tack room, with a later stone and timber extension to the east. It forms a courtyard to the west of the house. The single-storey outbuilding has two boarded timber doors, an early 19th century water pump on the west elevation, and a small pigeon loft on the south elevation. The interior is cobbled and retains evidence of its former use as a stable, including timber fixtures for the tackle.
The property is enclosed by a high rubble boundary wall along Peffermill Road, which includes a pedestrian gate to the east of the house.
