Chapeltoun House

Chapeltoun House is an Arts and Crafts manor house built between 1909 and 1910 by architects Alex Cullen, Lochhead & Brown. This two-storey building features a single-storey and attic, with an asymmetric, multi-bay design and gabled roofs that incorporate Scots Renaissance details. The exterior is finished in painted harl with exposed stone margins and ashlar components, including a base course and ashlar gableheads. The roof includes some pedimented dormers, and the windows are a mix of bipartite and four-light styles with bare stone mullions. Ashlar panels with a ropework moulded border connect the ground and first-floor windows on the west side. A later flat-roofed extension has been added to the northeast.

The entrance elevation on the north side consists of eight bays, featuring an off-centre, advanced balustraded entrance bay. This bay includes deeply recessed, two-leaf panelled and carved timber doors set within a chamfered round-arch, topped with an elaborately carved hoodmoulding and a carved panel above a blank shield.

On the garden elevation to the south, there are also eight bays. The left side has five bays with a central balustraded bowed ashlar window at ground level, while the outer bays feature canted bay windows with parapets on the upper storey. A bowed oriel window is located at the far right.

The windows throughout are predominantly six-pane over plate glass timber sash and case types, and the roof is covered with grey slates. The building has raised skews with some scrolled skewputts, tall wallhead stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods that include some decorative hoppers.

The interior, as seen in 2008, boasts a decorative design with the original room layout largely intact. It features a timber panelled hall with a prominent moulded stone fire surround and chimney, a straight staircase with timber screens, and highly decorative plasterwork in some public rooms. Panelled timber doors and simple cornicing can be found in the bedrooms.
