Dunragit House

Dunragit House is a late 18th-century mansion house, though it incorporates earlier fabric, possibly dating back to the late 17th century, with later additions. It is now sub-divided into flats and includes a two-storey, U-shaped courtyard to the rear. The house is constructed of washed rubble with raised margins, and architraved margins at ground and first floor levels on the south elevation, along with angle margins. An eaves cornice runs around the building.

The south elevation features a broad, pedimented bay at the centre, containing the central two bays, with a flat-roofed porch projecting forward at ground level. The porch has pebble-dashed walls with red sandstone ashlar dressings, a corniced rectangular projection containing a doorway, and large bowed windows to the left and right, supported by Tuscan columns and a spearhead balcony. The fenestration is regular across the ground, first and second floors, with taller windows on the first floor, except for the bay on the outer right. A window is located on the east return of the pedimented bay at ground level. An oculus, with a moulded surround, is set within the gablehead, alongside a gablehead stack.

The east elevation has a three-bay arrangement at ground and first floor levels, with windows in the centre and to the right. The central windows may have late 17th-century margins. Blind windows are set to the left. A window is positioned centrally on the second floor, along with a fire escape door in the gablehead. A two-storey wing adjoins the right side, and a flat-roofed, single-storey addition, likely dating from 1915-16 (originally a ballroom or billiard room), projects from this wing. This addition has a Venetian window to the south, a bowed bay with three windows to the left, a narrow window to the right, and two windows to the right, along with a door on the north side.

The west elevation has windows at ground and first floors on the left, and a tall window to the right at first floor level. A two-storey, three-bay wing adjoins to the left, with regular fenestration. A further two-storey, four-bay wing projects to the left, with a first-floor window to the south and regular fenestration to the west, including cat-slide dormerheads over the first-floor windows.

The north elevation includes a piended stair block at the centre, with later additions, and two-storey wings adjoined to the left and right, featuring numerous openings. A former painted rubble coach house, now converted into a dwelling, is located to the north, and it is adjoined to the wing on the west by a link wall containing a segmental archway leading into the courtyard. The courtyard has sweeping eaves.

The windows are primarily small-pane sash and case windows, with some replacement glazing. A piended dormer window sits above the outer bays on the south pitch. Coped skews are present. Corniced, rendered gablehead stacks are found on the east, west, and north sides, with ridge and wallhead stacks, featuring concave banding, on the rear wings. The roof is covered in large grey slates, topped with octagonal cans.

The interior features a keystoned round arch in the porch. There is reportedly paneling from the hall in Castle of Park (though this has not been viewed since 1991).
