Description
Moffat House, built by John Adam between 1761 and 1762 for the Earl of Hopetoun, is a substantial three-storey, five-bay house set back from the street. It is enclosed by a single-storey courtyard with quadrant wings that lead to low two-storey pavilions. The building is constructed of neatly graded coursers with ashlar dressings. The central entrance features cavetto splayed reveals and an engaged Roman Doric columned doorpiece topped with ball-finials. All windows are framed in moulded architraves and have 12-pane sashes. There is a band course above the ground floor, an eaves course, and a cornice. The roof is piended and platformed, with two tall banded ashlar stacks and a dormer on the south side. The rear has full-height semi-circular bows in the outer bays. The pavilions include semi-elliptical carriage arches, with the north end infilled and two windows inserted above. The roofs are slated, and little of interest remains internally apart from the central stair.
