Redcoll

Redcoll is a possibly James Burn-designed house from around 1824. This severe, classical building is two storeys high and features three bays, a basement, and single-storey, single-bay recessed pavilions. It is constructed of coursed cream sandstone ashlar and includes broad corner pilasters, a base course, a cill course, an eaves course, a cornice, and a blocking course.

On the northwest elevation, ashlar steps lead to the entrance in the advanced central bay, which has a columned doorpiece with an entablature. There is a segmental fanlight with bordered glazing above the door. The ground floor features corniced windows with moulded architraves, while the basement has two segmentally arched windows. The first floor has three smaller windows. The side elevations display regular fenestration, with one blind window on each side. The recessed pavilions contain tripartite windows with column-mullions and cornices set in segmentally arched panels. There is a door to the basement on the left and a blind window on each return.

The southeast elevation, which faces the garden, has a slightly recessed central bay and three windows on each floor and the basement. The left ground window has a modern lean-to conservatory addition. The pavilions feature later bipartite windows with wooden mullions at the centre ground. Some basement windows have iron bars, and there is a blind window at the centre of the first floor. A door with a forestair leads to the right pavilion. The sash and case windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern, while the pavilions have lying-pane glazing. The roofs are covered with grey slates, featuring piend and platform designs, along with a central cupola and raised, coped stacks.

Inside, the property boasts a top-lit stairwell with a stone staircase and a wrought-iron balustrade featuring a snake and stem design. The principal rooms are adorned with decorative plasterwork cornices, ceiling roses, and corniced doorcases with shell friezes. The drawing room includes a chimneypiece made of white marble, supported by Roman Doric columns, and features a tablet depicting Ganymede with an eagle.
