Description

Glencaird is a 2-storey, L-plan country house built in the Scots Revival style during the 1930s, attributed to Roger Pinkerney. The exterior features painted render, a timber eaves cornice, recessed margins, and narrow timber cills.

The north elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a wide bowed bay in the re-entrant angle. It includes a Gibbs surround to a horizontal-panelled door flanked by narrow lights, with a window above on the first floor. There are two windows at both the ground and first floors to the west. A set-off stack is located to the north, flanking the bowed bay, and is shouldered to the west. This stack has a stone panel inset at the first floor, dated "1694" and inscribed with the initials "I MK", "AH", and armorial bearings, all within a circular moulding.

The west elevation features a window at both the ground and first floors, as well as in the gablehead. There is a rubble garden wall running west from the house, which is adjoined to the left and includes a decorative wrought-iron gate in a round arch.

The south elevation is five bays wide and has a French window in the bay to the left of centre, with regularly disposed fenestration. Above the centre bay, there is a window in the nepus gable, which has scrolled shoulders, coped skews, and skewblocks.

On the east elevation, there is a window at the ground and first floors, as well as in the gablehead of a slightly advanced gable to the outer left. The fenestration is regularly disposed in three bays to the right, with two-light windows in the centre bay. A lean-to porch/shed, half-piended to the east, is adjoined to the gabled north return. This open porch has a window to the left and a shed door to the right, with a window to the east. Above, there is a set-off stack with a stone panel inset at the first floor, which is a 16th century panel inscribed with armorial bearings in a circular moulding and the initials "AH" on each side. The house features 16-pane glazing in broad sash and case windows, with red sandstone coped skews, skewblocks, and gablehead apex details, all covered with small grey-green slates. The rendered stacks have a ridge to the east and a set-off gablehead to the north.

To the right of the north return, there is a rubble wall that steps down to a circular rubble pier with ball finials, with a corresponding pier to the north. The property also includes valley-roofed outbuildings, a U-plan steading, and a farmhouse to the north, as well as a stone garden seat.
