Greenloch House

Greenloch House is a two-storey, three-bay former parish manse, rebuilt in 1838. It has a near-rectangular plan and is constructed of painted harl.

The west-facing (entrance) elevation features an advanced, flat-roofed, square-plan porch. A timber door and letterbox fanlight are positioned in the right re-entrant angle of the porch, with single windows to the remaining elevations. Single windows flank the porch at ground level, and regular fenestration is present on the first floor.

The east-facing (rear) elevation has an advanced, pitched entrance at ground level, with a timber door in the right re-entrant angle. A lean-to conservatory adjoins the main building. A single stair window is aligned above the entrance, and flanking single windows are situated at both ground and first floor levels. There is a blank infill panel to the right of the centre window. The north-facing (side) elevation has single windows at ground and first floor levels, while the south-facing (side) elevation is blank.

The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered in grey slate, with concrete tiles and stone skews on the east pitch. Rooflights, corniced gablehead stacks, and polygonal cans are also present. The interior was not inspected in 1999.

A graveyard lies to the east of the house, containing elaborately carved gravestones dating from the 17th century. A single iron gatepier and gate mark the entrance drive.

The site of Greenloch House incorporates the location of Soulseat Abbey, a Premonstratensian monastery founded in 1148 and destroyed in the 17th century. The house, formerly named Meadowsweet, was marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1848 as the manse serving the Parish Kirk at Lochinch; a nearby house now bears the name Meadowsweet. Earlier structures were evident on J Ainslie's Wigton map of 1782, labelled Saltside. Additional ancillary structures to the east are not included within the listing.
