Description

Nunholm House in Dumfries is a two-storey house with a roughly T-shaped plan, likely originating in the later 18th century, with additions made in the 19th century. The building is primarily constructed of brick, with some rubble or ashlar dressings and additions, all painted with contrasting margins. The original house was probably rectangular in shape, facing west, and consists of three bays with end stacks. The inner bay features a long wall that is shallowly advanced, with original blocking at the eaves to the east, and the main roof sweeps over this inner bay. The west wall has been raised by several courses.

Full-height bays have been added to both gables, although the bay on the north side is not entirely built and has a piended roof. A substantial two-bay wing, built in the mid-19th century, is attached to the northmost bay of the west wall and features a curved porch in the re-entrant angle, complete with a panelled door, sidelights, and a decorative fanlight. Additionally, a curved low bow was inserted on the original house in the 20th century. The house has corniced stacks and slate roofs.
