Description

The stables at Newburn House were built between 1818 and 1820. This symmetrical, two-storey structure features five bays and is designed as a former manse. The south elevation is constructed of whin rubble, accented with yellow ashlar and long and short dressings, while the remainder is harled. It has a central segmental-headed doorway framed by a pilastered doorpiece, with a panelled door, sidelights, and a fanlight. The building includes 12-pane sash windows throughout, an eaves course, a cornice, and a blocking course. There are corniced end stacks and a low piended and platform roof.

To the north, there is a single-storey U-plan stable block that leads to a walled courtyard with square gatepiers. The stable block is also rubble-built with ashlar dressings, and the west linking range has been partly rebuilt in brick. The courtyard features square-headed door and window openings. The north wing includes a door and window with a latticed glazing pattern on the short east wall, while the south wing has a rectangular garage opening to the east, which was inserted in 1929 by the architects Gillespie and Scott of St Andrews. There is also an off-centre door on the south elevation below a dovecot with a gabled dormer head. The roofs are covered with slate.
