Estate House, Mains Of Applecross, Applecross

The Estate House at Mains of Applecross is an earlier 19th century, two-storey, three-bay house featuring a contemporary two-storey wing at the rear and an additional near-contemporary single-storey, single-bay wing on the south gable. The east-facing frontage is constructed of coursed rubble, while the flanks and rear are harled. A projecting gabled rubble porch covers the central door. The house primarily has four-pane glazing, with some surviving eight-pane glazing at the rear. It has corniced end stacks and slate roofs. A coped rubble wall encloses the front garden to the east. To the north of the house, there is an earlier to mid-19th century boathouse or store, which is made of rubble and features a wide entrance on the west (seaward) elevation, along with slit vents in the side walls. The boathouse has a piended corrugated iron roof that replaced the earlier thatch.
