Description
Stenhouse is a country house built around 1840, featuring two storeys with the first floor raised through the eaves. The house is constructed of stugged ashlar with chamfered margins and has sash windows with lying-pane glazing.
On the east elevation, there is a prominent central wide gabled bay. The ground floor includes a tripartite window, while the first floor has a bipartite window. There is a gabled porch located in the left re-entrant angle. The outer bays on the ground floor also have bipartite windows, and the first floor windows are topped with gabled dormer heads. All gables feature saw-toothed skews and painted stacks that are arranged asymmetrically. The roof is covered with graded slates.
Adjoining the south gable is a conservatory that is gabled and primarily timber-framed, supported by cast-iron brackets on the inside. It also has a band of coloured leaded panes at the eaves level.
