Description
Carronbank Cottage and its outbuildings, designed by architect William Burn around 1830, is a picturesque single-storey structure located in Durisdeer. The cottage has a roughly L-shaped plan with gables, a complex roof design, and deeply projecting eaves. It is constructed of pink ashlar.
On the south elevation, there is a shallow advanced two-bay gable on the right, while the roof on the left is shallow-pitched and sweeps over a canted bay to create a verandah supported by cast-iron columns. The entrance door is deeply recessed to the left, also beneath the verandah. The cottage features small-paned sash windows and a projecting chimney breast on the west gable, although the stack has been removed. There is an axial stack with two diamond flues, which may have been rebuilt. A modern addition is present in the re-entrant angle of the cottage.
The outbuildings have a rectangular plan and are linked to the southwest corner of the cottage. They are single-storey structures featuring a segmental-arched cartshed at basement level along the long east wall, with four slit ventilators above. The west elevation has three doorways, one of which has been enlarged. The outbuildings have a piended roof, and all roofs are covered with graded slates.
