Description
Caerlaverock House is a two-storey former manse designed by architect Walter Newall and dated 1837. The building is constructed from stugged and squared red sandstone rubble, featuring polished margins and dressings. The west elevation has three bays, with a slightly advanced gabled inner bay that includes a consoled pedimented canopy over the doorway, which has a panelled door and a fanlight. The windows are 12-pane sashes, and there is an eaves/lintel band, shaped skews, and corbelled apex stacks with mostly diamond flues. The roof is covered with graded slates.
To the left, there is a low wing that is recessed. The twin-gabled east range features a tripartite window on the ground floor facing south, with two additional windows above, also tripartite in the south gable. A long low range of outbuildings extends to the east.
The partly walled garden to the southeast includes a roofless rubble-built summer-house with a bowed south front, dated 1802, and an inscribed pedimented stone from an earlier manse, dated 1708.
