Cromarty House

Cromarty House is a large classical mansion built around 1772. It has two storeys and an attic over a raised basement, featuring five bays with a central door. There are two-storey, three-bay wings on either side at ground level, which have different floor levels internally compared to the main block. The exterior is constructed of ashlar stone.

The main (south) elevation has a slightly advanced, quoined central bay with a classical pedimented doorway and sidelights, which is accessed by a broad flight of steps that oversails a smooth rusticated basement. The porch is flanked by round-headed windows, and there is a central Venetian window on the first floor with a modillioned pediment and a bull's eye above it. The roof features a balustraded parapet, paired flanking chimneys, a piended roof, and three piended dormers.

The flanking wings have three tall segmental-headed blind arches at the ground floor, with three small blind windows above, one of which has a four-light casement. The wings also feature a band course, a plain parapet (balustraded on the north side), and a hipped roof. The corresponding facade on the north side has a bowed projecting central bay that extends full height, with a long corniced doorway and a glazed door at the center of the ground floor, also approached by a flight of steps.

Additional architectural details include a modillioned eaves cornice, two band courses, smooth rusticated quoins, and a slate roof. The interior contains some fine mantelpieces, impressive ceilings, and notable staircases.
