Description
Amisfield House is a Classical house built in 1837 in front of an earlier house from 1631, effectively doubling its thickness. The building has two storeys and is set on a raised basement.
The 1837 section features polished red ashlar stone, with the basement finished in a droved style. It has a five-bay south front where the inner three bays are advanced and topped with a pediment. The basement has narrow lights, and there is a canted window at ground level that rises from the basement. The other windows are 12-pane sashes, with architraves above the basement, aprons, cill bands, and cornices on the ground floor. The principal entrance is located on the short east wall, with steps leading up to a pedimented doorpiece. The building has angle margins, a cornice, symmetrically placed stacks, and a piended roof.
The 1631 section has been much rebuilt and is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings. The openings have mostly been altered and are arranged irregularly, with some located below relieving arches and others margined, featuring moulded or chamfered reveals. There is a round-headed stair window, a door, and a wide former segmental-arched opening that has been converted into a window on the north wall. This section also predominantly has 12-pane sashes and features a corbelled southwest angle at the first floor where it joins the 1837 house. The building has end and axial stacks, and the roofs are slated.
