Corsock House

Corsock House is a late 18th-century, two-storey and basement house that has been remodelled and features taller two-storey and attic additions to the west, designed by David Bryce in 1853. Further large additions were made to the east in 1910 by Charles Stuart Still Johnston, a pupil of Bryce, who employed his master's style. Johnston's monogram and the date 1910 can be found on a dormer head. Little of the original structure remains in the central part of the house. Despite being built in two different periods, the wings of the house create a relatively harmonious composition, enhanced by the uniform harled walling, polished pink sandstone margins, and Scots Baronial detailing.

The Bryce wing to the west has an asymmetrical crow-stepped front, corbelled angle tourelles with fish-scale roofs, and attic dormers. It features a typical Bryce detail of a projecting bay window that is canted at the ground level but corbelled to a square shape at the first floor. The Johnston wing to the east, designed in a similar Baronial style with Arts and Crafts elements, includes a full-height round tower door on the south side, grouped with a corbelled projecting flue that rises to a tall stack at the gable. A single-storey gabled entrance porch from 1910 obscures most of the 18th-century south elevation.

All windows are sash and case; most are 20th-century with 12-pane upper sashes and 2-pane lower sashes. The canted bays of the Bryce wing retain 8-pane glazing. There is a band course over the basement, and all gables are crow-stepped with tall gablehead and axial stacks, some featuring octagonal cans. The roofs are steeply pitched and covered with slate.

Inside the Bryce wing, there is a good scale and a platt stair with barley-sugar twist timber balusters. The interior also features simple strapwork plaster ceilings and a heavy roll-moulded fireplace.
