Description
Lentran House is a Scottish Baronial style house, dated 1866, although incorporating earlier fabric. Designed in an asymmetrical style, it is two storeys and an attic, set above a raised basement. The house is constructed of rubble with tooled ashlar dressings.
The main entrance is positioned off-centre, within a projecting central drum which corbelles to square over the ground floor. Steps oversail the raised basement, which has a stone balustrade and ball finials; a shallow segmental headed lintel with a datestone is above the doorway, along with a corbelled oriel window on the first floor. To the right of the entrance are shallow rectangular bay windows, and a similar canted window is present on the garden front. Most windows have two panes of glass.
A slender drum tower is located in the south-east re-entrant angle of the house, rising above wallhead and terminating in a conical roof covered with fishscale slates, topped with a cast-iron weathervane. Angle bartizans with conical roofs are also present at first-floor level on the south-west and north-east sides. Gabletted dormers, crowstepped gables, and corbelled detailing are further features, as are rainwater goods dated 1866, a group of square and octagonal stacks, and slate roofs. Modern harled additions have been built to the rear.
Inside, a wooden stair has turned barley-sugar twist balusters and ball finials to the newels. Other original features include moulded door jambs and panelled doors, original chimney-pieces, and plaster cornices to the ceilings. A monogram "H AE W" with the date 1866 is visible on the house. In 1868, Lentran House was owned by Henry W White of Monar and Lentran.
