Description
Laudale House is an early 19th century, three-storey, three-bay house that has undergone later 19th century alterations and additions. It features a symmetrical north-facing front and has wide single-storey wings at both the east and west gables.
The exterior is finished in white harling. The central door is concealed by a later 19th century projecting gabled porch with a side entrance, and it is flanked by small windows on the ground floor. The second-floor windows extend through the wallhead into three gabled dormers, likely part of the later 19th century raising of the house. Each of the flanking single-bay wings has an off-centre window and a single wallhead gabled dormer.
The windows primarily have four-pane glazing, and the house features end stacks and slate roofs. The rear (south) side includes a modern box dormer on the east wing and modern glazing on the three-bay ground floor.
Inside, there is a simple ceiling moulding in the low ground floor room on the west side.
