Description

Meadowbank is a house located on High Street in New Galloway, dating from the earlier 19th century. It is a two-storey and attic, three-bay symmetrical structure. The exterior is harled over rubble walling, featuring raised quoins and margins.

At the center, there is a later 19th-century granite Roman-Doric porch with an incised frieze, which is partially glazed. The porch includes a round-arched granite doorway.

All the windows are single-light, plate glass sashes. The roof is piended and covered with slate, featuring tall corniced wallhead stacks on the flanks, mostly with octagonal cans. The main elevation has three dormers, with circular windows flanking a central small flat-roofed dormer, all topped with leaded roofs.

The rear elevation has extensive half-storey harled extensions, mostly from the 20th century.

Inside, there is a geometric cantilevered elliptical-plan stair located at the center rear. The interior also boasts good delicate plasterwork cornices. The first-floor drawing room features a fine marble chimneypiece, which has been relocated to the ground floor drawing room.
