Description
Cornhill is a compact baronial house built in the 1860s, designed by architect Charles Kinnear of Peddie & Kinnear. The building is constructed from snecked rubble and ashlar, topped with slate roofs. The east front features three gabled windows, with a dormer head and finial on the left and a crowstepped gable wing with a finial on the right. There is a slender stone stack located in the angle of the gables. The entrance porch is recessed and supported by bracket mouldings. The south front has two windows and a twin crowstepped gable, also with finials, and a chimney situated in the valley. A moulded string runs over the ground floor, and the corners are corbelled over rounded angles. The house retains its original sash glazing and includes a single-storey gabled wing at the rear.
