Allangrange House

Allangrange House is a building that began as an early 19th-century structure, originally two storeys over a raised basement. The outer bays were distinguished by full-height bows. Between 1907 and 1908, the house was extended and substantially altered by W. L. Carruthers.

The house now presents as two storeys and an attic over a raised basement, with a seven-bay facade centered on a main doorway. The outer bays are bowed to their full height, with the bay on the left retaining its original form from the earlier house. The exterior is harled, with ashlar long and short quoins, dressings, and margins. The bowed bays are linked by a projecting raised basement that supports a balustraded terrace accessed by a flight of steps. The ground-floor centre doorway is framed by a moulded and lugged architrave, flanked by tripartites; similar tripartites are also present at ground and first-floor levels of the outer bowed bays. Between the bowed bays, there are two bipartites and two single windows on the first floor. Six dormers are visible; the outer pair are bowed and integrated into the curved, piended roofs of each bay, while dormers numbered 2 and 5 have barge-boarded gablets and the central pair feature wooden segmental pediments. The windows are 12-pane sashes. Further details include a moulded eaves cornice, corniced end and ridge stacks, and a slate roof. A later two-storey and attic single-bay wing, set back on the east gable, has a balcony and a shaped eastern gable with a capping segmental pediment.

The terraced garden features balustrades with stone copes and balusters, which may incorporate reused material from the original construction.

The interior of the house is oak-panelled on the ground floor and features enriched plaster friezes. The original staircase remains in situ, serving as a service stair on the left of the front door.

The building appeared on Ordnance Survey maps from 1868 and 1901, and was shown as "Allanbank" on the 7th series Ordnance Survey map of 1961. Plans dating from December 1907 are held at the National Monuments Record of Scotland.
