Description

Elmbank House is a later 19th century, two-storey house with an irregular rectangular plan and a single-storey wing. It was converted into a clubhouse in 1930 by James Gillespie and Scott and has been used as a house since 1994. The building is constructed from Aberdeen Bond whinstone, featuring contrasting droved ashlar long and shortwork quoins, an eaves course, and a cavetto cill course at the first floor on the right, which extends to the north elevation with a gable facing the street.

The principal elevation has two storeys with bays arranged in a 2-1-3 pattern. To the right of the centre, there is a two-leaf panelled door with a window on each floor to the outer right. To the left, an advanced crowstepped single bay breaks the eaves. The original single-storey wing has been extended south by one bay and is now harled, featuring an additional door.

The north (street) elevation includes a single gabled bay with a corbelled stone bracketed oriel window at the first floor and a stone half-piend roof. The building has modern glazing and is topped with grey slates, including a small roof-light. It features crowstepped gables, a square finial on the north gable, beak skewputts, and cavetto coped ashlar stacks with cans on the south and west sides. The rainwater hoppers are decorated. The single-storey wing has deeply overhanging eaves with exposed moulded rafter ends.

The boundary walls are made of saddle-back coped, squared, and coursed whinstone, with an opening to the north.
