Description
Mabie House is a country house dating from around 1800. It is a three-storey, three-bay structure with later low wings that project forward. Originally symmetrical, the house underwent alterations in 1910 by Barbour & Bowie of Dumfries, which included the addition of a courtyard range to the east. The building is constructed from rubble with red ashlar dressings and features rusticated quoins, particularly on the north side, which is pointed. The roofs are piended.
On the north elevation, there is a pilastered and pedimented porch that is an addition, featuring a round-headed door. The wings have canted windows and parapets, with taller sections behind, and the west wing has been extended. The house has 12-pane sash windows, end stacks, deep bracketed eaves (which are not original), and a double-pitched roof. The L-plan courtyard range is two storeys high and includes a garage. Most roofs are covered with slate, although one has modern tiles.
The long, asymmetrical south elevation incorporates an armorial panel. Inside, there are some oak floors and ground floor panelling, along with a blind arch and a white marble chimney piece in the first-floor drawing room. There is also a balustrade to the east and west of the house and above the garden terrace.
