Stable And Office Block, Carberry Tower

The building is a stable and office block at Carberry Tower, likely designed by David Bryce around 1860. It consists of a two-storey section, a single storey and attic, and a single storey quadrangular stable group, all in a traditional Scottish style and currently converted for residential use. The structure is made of squared and snecked, stugged rubble with ashlar dressings and chamfered arrises at the openings.

The west range, which is the principal range facing Carberry Tower, features a two-storey, five-bay entrance with a slightly advanced gabled pend bay at the center. It has a depressed archway that is currently blocked with a door and window from 1977, along with a granary window above. An octagonal timber and lead clock tower with a weathervane finial sits atop a slated spire. There are two blinded segmental carriage arches flanking the center bays on each side, with semi-circular windows inserted and granary windows above. Three irregular single storey and attic bays flank this range, with gabled ends to the north and south ranges slightly advanced in the outer bays. Machinery doors have been inserted on the courtyard side of the center bays.

The east range contains five single storey and attic residential bays at the center, which may have originally been grooms' accommodation. This section features gabled dormerheads and a glazed porch on cast-iron columns facing the courtyard, positioned off-center to the right. There are single storey outbuildings in the flanking bays, with an open range allowing for a driveway at the northeast corner and a pedestrian walkway at the southeast, near the kennels.

The north and south ranges consist of single storey bays to the east, rising to three single storey and attic bays to the west. There is an unfortunate porch addition to the north range.

Additionally, there are kennels with railed runs and a loft dovecot featuring thirteen flight holes in the southeast gable.

In the courtyard, there is a lean-to range of independent sheds running north-south, made of ashlar-coped, squared rubble curtain wall with bays to the east that are currently glazed, divided by stone piers, and serving as a crafts centre.

The building showcases a small-pane glazing pattern, with sash and case windows predominating, although some windows have been modernized and regrettably altered. It features crowstepped gables with consoled skewputts, crowstepped dormerheads with beak skewputts, and blind arrow slits. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are stone gable end and ridge stacks.
