Description

Newton House, located on Craignair Street in Dalbeattie, is a house built in the later 19th century. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure made of bull-faced granite, featuring smooth rusticated quoins and polished raised margins.

The central doorway is adorned with Roman Doric pilasters that support a cornice and blocking course. The entrance includes a panelled door with a fanlight above it. The windows are single light, sash and case style, with 2-pane plate glass glazing.

On the rear elevation, the house has coursed granite with a single-storey pitch-roofed extension in the centre, a modern harled projecting bay to the right, and a single-storey brick extension to the left. The building has plain skews and end corniced stacks with octagonal cans, all topped with slate roofs.

A low granite wall along Craignair Road supports cast-iron railings. To the left, there is a pair of coped gatepiers, while to the right, there is a granite gateway that formerly featured an ogival arch over a cast-iron gate.
