Description
Cargill House is an early 19th-century row of four houses, arranged in a two-storey format that steps down a slope. The buildings are constructed of coursed squared whinstone, featuring contrasting yellow long and short ashlar dressings.
The south elevation consists of six bays on the right, which include Cargill House and Upper Cargill House. These have an off-centre door, three plate glass sash windows, and a pend to the left at the ground floor. A modern forestair on the north wall, accessed through the pend, leads to Upper Cargill House. The first floor has 12-pane sash windows. The buildings have a brick end stack and a modern tiled roof.
Cargill House itself has four bays, with a door located behind a modern glazed porch and mostly plate glass sash windows. It features end stacks and a slate roof. West View, which has two bays on the south elevation, has a recessed central door with cavetto reveals and a corniced doorcase in the principal three-bay west entrance elevation. It contains four-pane sash windows throughout and has a centrally placed stack on the south wallhead and on the north gable, with a slated roof.
