Description
Geddes House, built between 1801 and 1805 with additions around 1825, is a two-storey building over a raised basement featuring three wide bays. The exterior is constructed of coursed cherry-pointed rubble with ashlar dressings and quoins. The central bay, which is slightly advanced and pedimented, contains a door flanked by sidelights and topped with a fanlight. This entrance is sheltered by a corniced portico supported by a pair of Roman/Doric columns, accessible via steps. The original side elevations consist of four wide bays, with a later addition of a three-bay shallow projecting wing to the west. The first-floor windows have cill and lintel bands, 12-pane glazing, and there is a blocking course. The building features symmetrical corniced ridge stacks and a piended platform slate roof. Inside, the entrance and upper stair hall are adorned with Doric columns.
