Description
Denork is a Tudor-Jacobean mansion built around 1835 and enlarged around 1870, designed in the style of the Burn School. The building is asymmetrical and consists of two storeys with well-crafted coursers featuring dressings that are two coursers deep.
The north entrance elevation has an L-plan layout, with an advanced gable to the right that includes a two-storey five-light canted bay. There is a later attic dormer on the left flank, and a central porch with a finial and a four-centre arched door with a hood mould. To the left of the porch, there is a three-light window with a hood mould, and above are two two-light windows with finialled gablet dormerheads.
The original northern half of the west elevation is shallow L-shaped with a gable to the right, featuring hoodmoulded ground floor windows and two-light bipartite windows above, one of which has a dormerhead. The southern half was originally a single storey but has been raised to two storeys with a double gable front.
The east frontage includes a two-storey five-light canted bay at the gable end of the north front, along with a two-storey seven-light canted bay and a single-storey six-light bay to the south. The roofs are slated with finialled gables and originally had tall diagonal shafted chimneys, which have since been replaced with short chimneypots. The glazing throughout the building is original.
