Description
Auchindoune House is a mid-18th century, two-storey and attic house with a wide three-bay façade. The exterior features harled pointed rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. It has a projecting square porch with a piended slate roof, which includes a later round-headed entrance and fanlight that masks the central door, along with an additional later window to the right. There are two small piended dormers, and the ground floor on the east side has single windows. Each gable has a narrow slit vent to light the attic. The windows have 12-pane glazing, and the house has end stacks and a slate roof. At the rear, there is a single-storey and attic, two-bay wing added in the mid-19th century.
Flanking each gable is a short length of crenellated walling, which incorporates a re-used marriage stone dated 1628 on the west side.
Inside, the house features simple moulded doorpieces and original fielded panelled doors in the older part. The east drawing room, which was formerly two rooms, contains two 18th-century carved marble chimney pieces. One is possibly by John Cheere, who died in 1787, and is believed to have come from a former Cawdor property in Wales. The second chimney piece is said to have originated from a house in the precincts of Westminster Abbey in London and was brought north by an earlier Campbell of Cawdor. The interior also includes an elliptical stair with cantilevered stone treads and simple balusters.
