Description

Strathgair House comprises a former parish manse with associated steading and walled garden. The manse dates originally to 1805, with substantial additions in 1823 and further repairs and possible additions in 1847. The original building was a two-storey and attic, three-bay manse with a central door on its south facade. A large, two-storey, two-bay piended wing was added symmetrically to the south front in 1823, incorporating a side entrance leading to the original central door. Single-storey, single-bay wings were added to the east and west gables between 1823 and 1847, these being of differing constructions. The building is constructed of harled rubble with contrasting painted, tooled dressings. The windows are predominantly 8-pane sash windows, and there are corniced end and wallhead stacks, with slate roofs. Piended dormers may also date from 1823.

Behind the house is a large, U-plan steading forming a court, constructed of whitewashed rubble with a slated roof. A coped rubble walled garden is also present.

References include the New Statistical Account and an advertisement for tenders in the Inverness Courier, May 18, 1847.
