Description

Blairtummock House is a country house built in at least four stages, now part of a modern housing scheme and used as a Parks and Recreation Department Office since 1992. The building is two storeys high, constructed mainly of squared rubble with ashlar dressings, featuring sash windows with horizontal glazing and slate roofs. Its general appearance resembles a house from around 1840, reflecting the individual style of David Hamilton's work from the 1820s and 1830s, although it lacks the quality of his design. The house has a parapetted L-plan front with a shallow castellated porch at the center, a canted ground floor window to the left, and two windows above. To the right, there is an advanced gable with angle shafts and finials, originally the end gable of a south-facing five-bay house that was extended eastward by two bays in a similar style, likely in the 18th century. The openings on the south front have been altered, with all windows corniced. A 1721 skewputt likely relates to the original house rather than the two-bay addition. On the north flank of the circa 1840 house, a late 19th-century square bay has been added, repeating details from the west front and featuring an iron-crested French roof.

There is a high-quality neo-classical garden house set against the garden wall to the south of Blairtummock House. This structure may be a re-set porch or re-used fragments from a larger building. The quality of the sculpture and design suggests that the architect might have been Robert Adam. It is made of yellow ashlar and features an architraved frame, Corinthian columns, a sculptured frieze, a pediment, and stucco panels within. Sculptured panels are also set above the garden wall on either side. The garden walls are rubble-built and appear to date from the 18th century, with 19th-century brick lining on the east side, a curved corner at the southeast, and iron railing on the west.
