Description
Terraughtie House is a Tudor-style country house designed by architect Thomas Rickman of Birmingham and built in 1825. It features an H-plan layout and is constructed of red ashlar stone. The house is primarily two to three storeys high, with most windows being mullioned and fitted with lying-pane glazing.
On the north elevation, there is an advanced and gabled three-storey inner entrance bay that includes a porch with a round-headed door and a shaped parapet. To the right of the entrance bay is a mullioned and transomed window, while the left gable is blank and has a projecting chimney breast. The east elevation has three bays, and the south elevation features a canted window in the right gable and a door on the left.
The north side has two projecting chimney breasts, one of which is corbelled but has been cut down. A string course runs between the floors, and the house has shaped skews, end and axial stacks with square or diamond flues, all covered with graded slates. There is a low wing to the west that now serves as a garage.
