Description
Craigs House is an earlier 19th century building that underwent mid-century alterations to its front elevation. It is a single storey and attic structure with a sunk basement and features five bays on the west front elevation. The exterior is finished in painted ashlar.
The west elevation includes a wide inner bay with a pedimented Roman Doric portico, behind which is a door flanked by sidelights and a fanlight, all set within panelled jambs. The windows are single plate-glass sashes with shallow aprons, and the elevation also has a base course, cornice, and blocking course. There are two pedimented gables over the outer bays, which likely had attic windows added around 1896 when some interior work was carried out. The building has symmetrically placed stacks with grouped octagonal flues and a piended and platform slate roof. The flanks consist of two bays.
On the east side, there is a modern porch that sits over the basement area, which has been later enclosed by cast-iron railings. Inside, there is some ceiling plasterwork featuring Classical details, and a white marble Ionic-columned chimney piece dating from the earlier 19th century. A carved wooden chimney-piece dated 1896 suggests further alterations at that time, and there are round-arched openings in the entrance hall.
