Description
Dunnygask is a farmhouse dating from around 1800, with later additions and elements from an earlier house likely built on the same site. It features a date stone and lintel both marked 1683. The building is two stories and an attic, with a symmetrical, three-bay rectangular plan and gabled roof, adorned with scrolled skewputts. The exterior is constructed of tooled rubble, with an ashlar eaves course, window margins, and straight quoins. The main entrance is located at the center of the south elevation, framed by a moulded architrave. There are small attic windows at both gable ends, although the window on the west gable is blocked.
On the north elevation, there is a single-storey lean-to outshot; the door on the right features a shield date stone with a thistle finial, inscribed with '1683' and the initials 'RD'. The window lintel on the left side is inscribed 'R 1683 D'. Additionally, there is a single-storey rubble lean-to porch added to the north and a mid-20th century single-storey rubble garage attached to the west gable.
The windows predominantly have 4-pane glazing in timber sash and case style. The roof is covered with red concrete tiles and includes two rooflights on the south elevation. The end stacks are coped and corniced ashlar with circular clay cans.
The interior was observed in 2013 and features a cantilevered staircase with a finely turned timber handrail leading to the attic. Some early 19th century cornicing remains in the principal rooms.
