Description
Phopachy House is an 18th-century, symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay house facing south. Originally the home of the Frasers of Phopachy, it is harled with painted ashlar margins. The ground floor windows have 12 panes of glazing, and the fenestration is slightly smaller on the first floor. The roof is slate, with corniced end stacks. A two-storey, two-bay wing projects from the rear of the house. A modern, single-storey, flat-roofed sun room has been added to the west gable. The central doorway is masked by a later gabled porch.
