Description
Cameron House, likely built around 1810, has undergone significant alterations in 1896 by Gillespie of St Andrews and in 1908 by Rowand Anderson and Paul. The building is two stories with an attic. The original eastern section features a three-window design made of coursed rubble, with raised and polished quoins at the east end. There is a pedimented ashlar porch with a window at the front dating to around 1820, and a later bipartite bay to the right, along with a late bipartite dormer above the left-hand bay. The later western extension is constructed of droved ashlar with raised end quoins, featuring two narrow windows on the ground floor and a later bipartite window above, topped with a piended and finialled dormer-head. The roof is slated with skews and three corniced ashlar stacks.
On the rear elevation, there are two large windows on the ground floor and three on the first floor, along with a single-storey piended rubble block that now serves as a garage, positioned at right angles to the house. The east gable has only an attic light, while the west gable includes a ground floor slit door and windows for the first floor and attic. The front windows have been reglazed, except for the porch window, while the rear glazing is largely original. At the entrance, there are two octagonal ashlar gatepiers with caps.
