Description
Calrossie House is an early 19th century house, originally a 2-storey, 3-bay design, with bowed outer bays that rise the full height of the building and are topped with bowed piended roofs. A slightly lower, 2-storey, symmetrical 3-bay wing was added in the later 19th century and is set slightly back from the west gable. The building is constructed of coursed rubble stone with tooled ashlar dressings. A low, 2-storey harled wing extends to the rear of the original 19th century portion.
The original house features narrow side windows flanking the central windows within the bowed bays. The front door is concealed by a late 19th century glazed porch. The later 19th century wing has a central door with a pedimented and pilastered doorpiece, and bipartites (double windows) in the outer bays on both the ground and first floors. The first-floor windows in these bays rise through the wallhead into finialled gablets.
The windows are fitted with 2- and 4-pane glazing. There are coped end and ridge stacks, a piended slate roof over the early house, and gabled slate roofs elsewhere. Calrossie was described as “a handsome mansion” by 1846.
