Description
Carngour is a building dating from around 1860, designed in the Jacobethan style by Bryce/Peddie & Kinnear. It is a tall, two-storey structure made of snecked rubble with broached ashlar dressings, featuring a base course and moulded openings on the front, and chamfered margins on the sides.
The south elevation is L-shaped, with a two-storey gable on the right that has one window and mullioned bipartite windows topped with rectangular Tudor hood moulds and a blind attic light. On the left, there is a wide two-storey canted bay with four lights, which is corbelled to a gablet head that rises above the eaves, also featuring a blind arched attic light. A single-storey porch is set diagonally in the angle, containing a four-panelled door and a chamfered window above to the left. The west gable has one window, while the centre of the east flank has a two-window gable.
At the rear, there is a single-storey range that matches the style of the main building, with a door located in a recessed link to the east. The roof is broad-eaved and slated, adorned with fanciful openwork barge boards that have pendants at the top. The building retains its original glazing, with lying panes on the front and 12-pane sashes on the flanks. Corniced ashlar stacks are located at the ends.
