Gibliston House

Gibliston House, built around 1820, is a classical villa featuring a symmetrical design with two storeys over a raised basement. The house has three bays, with a bowed single storey over the basement bay on the west side. Various extensions were added to the north and west by architect Sir Robert Lorimer between 1916 and 1931. The original structure is made of ashlar, with a rock-faced basement, rusticated ground floor, and polished first floor.

On the south elevation, the ground floor has openings in shallow recessed segmental-arched panels, tripartite windows with blind balustrades, and a central advanced bay that includes a pilastered doorpiece, fanlight, and sidelights above a flight of splayed steps, with screens added in 1919. The first floor features a central tripartite window (with blind outer lights) and single windows in the outer bays. There is a band course over the ground floor and basement, a string course between the ground floor windows, and a cornice with a blocking course that is raised centrally. Two piended dormers were added in 1919, along with symmetrically placed stacks and a slate roof.

The northern extension by Sir Robert Lorimer consists of three bays on a harled elevation, featuring a door with a tall fanlight in a lugged architrave on the right and bipartite windows on the ground floor of the lower, advanced central, and left bays. A square, single-storey, flat-roofed, harled study was added at the northwest corner in 1927, along with a simple rectangular conservatory against the south wall of the outhouse. The study has two tall 18-pane sash windows on the south elevation and a single sash window on the west, along with a single tall stack.

The garden includes two sundials.
