Lamlash House, Boundary Wall and Railings

Lamlash House is a late 19th-century former bank building with an adjoining house, now combined into a single property (as of 2015). It is constructed of snecked rubble with ashlar dressings and is located in Newmilns.

The building is designed in a modified Scots vernacular style. The west elevation, facing Brown Street, is characterised by a crowstepped gable with an urn finial on the right, featuring a two-storey canted bay window with cornicing above both floors, and a blocking course with a raised triangular central feature. To the left, a three-storey tower is set back, containing a balustraded timber entrance porch to the house in the re-entrant angle, with a door in the tower and a round, glazed panel at ground floor level. The first floor has three windows with keyhole-shaped tops above the transoms, featuring geometric leaded glass. The top floor has its upper part corbelled out, with three round-headed windows, also with chamfered arrises. Thicker masonry forms an architrave around the upper parts of the windows.

The garden elevation to the left has a two-storey section with single windows at ground and first floor. A ground floor bay is present to the right, resembling the Brown Street elevation. The tower is set in the re-entrant angle, with a round glazed panel at ground floor, two staggered keyhole-headed staircase windows rising to the first floor, and a single round-headed window at the second floor level. This elevation echoes the detailing of the Brown Street facade. Crowstepped gables with corniced and coped chimney stacks are repeated at either end of the tower, although the chimneys lack cans.

The south elevation, facing Brown’s Road, is an asymmetric two-storey, five-bay design with irregular fenestration. A central gablet with an urn finial is crowstepped. The entrance is to the left, featuring an advanced porch with a segment-headed doorway, a moulded cornice, and a blind strapwork balustraded parapet above. The roof is piended to the right, and a single-storey service wing with a piended roof is set back to the right.

The rear elevation is asymmetric and three-bay, with a crowstepped gable to the right and a chimney stack. The fenestration is irregular, with a single-storey service wing below the gable. Slate roofs cover the majority of the building; a section at the rear incorporates a leaded platform with terra-cotta ornamental ridge tiles, and ogee guttering runs along the moulded eaves course. Predominantly two-pane sash and case windows are used throughout.

Dwarf walls with replacement steel railings front the main facades, with square-plan gatepiers at each entrance. A random rubble wall with rounded copes extends along Brown's Road to the east.
