Teaninich House

Teaninich House, dated 1784, likely has an earlier core and was re-fronted in the Adam castellated style in the early 19th century. This three-storey and attic, five-bay mansion is constructed of rubble with tooled and polished ashlar dressings. The front elevation features an advanced central bay with a projecting crenellated porch that has polygonal crenellated angle piers. The pointed-headed entrance is complemented by a Gothic fanlight above the inner doorway. The central first-floor window is pointed-headed with a Gothic glazing pattern, and there is a cusped bull's eye window above it. The windows have hoodmoulds and 12-pane glazing, and the crenellated wallhead includes dummy angle bartizans. Each floor on the return elevation has one blind window, except for the ground floor of the southwest gable, which also has one blocked first-floor window and an offset ground floor window. The main block is a single pile with a two-storey block at the front, connected to the main facade by a continuous wallhead crenellation. The building features diagonally set tall ashlar corniced stacks and has piended and platform slate roofs.

Inside, the double leaf front door with Gothic detailing opens to a wide entrance hall that boasts a decorative plaster ceiling, clustered columns, and decorative cast-iron balusters leading to the staircase. The interior also includes various late 18th-century doors, chimney pieces, and plaster ceiling cornices.
