Lockerbie House Hotel, Lockerbie

Lockerbie House Hotel is a late 18th or early 19th century two-storey, three-bay house built on a raised basement. The building has undergone alterations and substantial additions, particularly in the early 20th century, with a large central rear wing rendered around 1950 and a low rear court.

The symmetrical south elevation features the original house constructed from rubble with ashlar margins. There are steps, with modern railings, leading to a central door that has a fanlight and sidelights, all sheltered by a four-columned Roman Doric shallow portico. The roof includes gabled dormers, while the two-bay wings are made of snecked stugged and squared red rubble, also with ashlar margins and rusticated quoins. The ground floor windows are pedimented, and there is a band course at ground floor level, along with an eaves/lintel band, a blocked cornice, and corniced stacks. The slate roof is piended, set forward, and swept-eaved over the wings.

On the east flank, there is a forestair leading to a columned porch. The north elevation has been significantly altered, featuring a wing that abuts an advanced and pedimented inner bay, with a tall Venetian window to the right. The roofed court at the northeast has rusticated quoins and a ball finial, with a depressed arch and key-blocked oculus facing west.

Inside, the hotel retains some good original ceiling and cornice plasterwork, along with timber and marble chimney pieces.
