Description

Attadale House is a rambling mansion dated 1755, with later additions of varying dates. The main body of the house is two and a half storeys high, with a wide, irregular south front, the central portion originally consisting of three bays. The walls are harled, with polished and tooled ashlar margins and dressings. To the south, advanced and bowed single-storey and attic bays extend outwards, with the bay to the left likely raised in height when an entrance turret was added. A later 19th-century drum tower rises three storeys with a conical roof, and features a corniced principal entrance at its base. The original central entrance is flanked by a lugged and moulded doorpiece, and a small first-floor window above, bearing a dated lintel. Flanking ground and first-floor windows have been enlarged to become bipartites. The irregular west elevation features a rectangular bay window on the ground floor of the northwest bay. Various small piended dormers are present, and some first-floor windows break the wallhead as piended dormers. The windows contain 2- and 4-pane glazing, with coped ridge and end stacks. The roofs are slate. A marriage stone inscribed "17DM L MK 55" with a heart in the centre is set into the exterior stonework.
