Description

Stroquhan is a plain two-storey rectangular-plan house built in the second half of the 18th century. A full-height bow was added around 1800 at the north end of the main east elevation. The house was remodelled in 1845 in the style of Walter Newall, which included the addition of a tall three-storey rectangular tower with a piend roof to the south. The building is mostly constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings, while the bow is rendered, and the 1845 work features polished red ashlar. There is a basement at the north end.

The tower has bipartite windows on its elevations, paired on the east and linked by cills or a cornice. The ground floor windows project, while the upper windows are architraved. The remaining south-facing bay is similarly treated. A margined porch, also dating from around 1840, is located near the centre of the east elevation and features a consoled pediment above the door, with a crest in a square panel above it on the house. The property has sash windows, mostly small-paned, throughout, along with cornices and stacks, mostly from 1845, featuring corniced octagonal flues. The west elevation has twin gables.

Inside, there is some decorative plasterwork on the ceilings and cornices. At the rear (west), there is a rectangular-plan shed that contains two vaulted basement compartments.
