Description

Ferrymuir House, built around 1810, is a symmetrical two-storey mansion situated on a slope, featuring a raised basement at the south. The exterior is finished in polished ashlar stone. The north entrance elevation has three bays, with a projecting porch in the central bay that includes a door topped by a fanlight. This porch is supported by Roman Doric columns and features a shallow portico, cornice, and parapet. The windows are arranged with tripartite windows above and a single window in the outer bays, one of which is blind. All windows are framed in architraves, with consoled cornices on the ground floor. The façade also includes panelled giant pilasters, a cornice, and a parapet that is pierced centrally and continues around all elevations. The building has corniced end stacks and a slated piended and platform roof.

The south elevation consists of five bays, with the outer bays advanced and featuring ground floor windows set within round-headed panels. There are two pedimented dormers, and the side elevations to the east and west are both four bays long and rendered to resemble ashlar. The west elevation previously housed a conservatory on an ashlar plinth, which is accessed by steps and retains original cast-iron brackets and metal tie bars inside.

Inside, the house features simple cast-iron stair balusters, panelled doors, and some decorative cornice plasterwork with a guilloche pattern.
