Description
Craigencross is a house built in the later 19th century, featuring two storeys and three bays, with the first floor extending beyond the eaves. The exterior is rendered, while the north elevation is made of painted rubble with painted raised tabbed margins. It has decorative timber bargeboarding and finials on the porch and dormer heads.
On the east elevation, there is a gabled stone porch at the center, with a window to the east. The outer bays contain windows, each with gabled dormer heads on the first floor. A wall is attached to the right side.
The north elevation has a window on the right at the first floor. The house features four-pane glazing in sash and case windows, with stained margin-pane glazing in the porch window. The roof has red sandstone coped skews, painted rubble gablehead stacks, and is covered with slightly graded grey slates, topped with octagonal cans.
The boundary wall is made of brick with a concrete coping on the east side, featuring a pyramidal-capped and corniced gatepier made of stop-chamfered ashlar.
