Dalhousie Grange, Dalhousie Castle

Dalhousie Grange is a circa 1790, two-storey, T-plan Georgian house, with later additions and alterations, originally serving as a dower house to Dalhousie Castle. It is constructed of coursed, tooled pink sandstone with droved dressings, featuring a base course, raised margins, an eaves course, and strip quoins.

The south-east elevation is symmetrical, with an architraved doorway in the centre of the ground floor, containing a panelled timber door and a three-pane fanlight. There are 19th-century tripartite windows in the flanking bays, with regular fenestration to the first floor. A single-storey wing from the 19th century is attached to the outer right.

The north-east elevation is asymmetrical, with a four-bay arrangement. A 19th-century wing is advanced to the ground floor of the bay to the left, and was altered in the 20th century to form a garage. A first-floor window is off-centre to the right, with a ground floor and first-floor window on the return. Three bays to the right are recessed, containing a panelled timber door with a three-pane fanlight flanked to the left by two windows. A boarded timber basement door, reached by stone steps, is at the outer right, alongside a large first-floor window and a smaller ground-floor window.

One section of the north-east elevation is asymmetrical, with a three-bay arrangement and a canted three-light window extending through the ground and first floors, off-centre to the left. Other windows are located flanking this, on the ground and first floors.

The north-west elevation is also asymmetrical, with a three-bay arrangement. A later 20th-century conservatory obscures the ground floor, while first-floor windows are set to the centre and right bays. A bay to the left is advanced with a first-floor window off-centre to the right.

Most windows are 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is a purple-grey piended slate covering, with lead ridges. The chimneys are shouldered, stone and cement faced, with coped wallheads and octagonal cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are present.

The interior retains original cornices, skirting boards, doors, and mouldings. A buffet recess, featuring a moulded surround, is located in the dining room.

The gatepiers are of coursed pink sandstone, with corniced necks and curved caps. They are accompanied by modern timber gates.

Historically, a small gate in the wall opposite the gatepiers provided access to a path to Dalhousie Castle (listed separately) and a footbridge over the Dalhousie Burn. An adjacent cottage provided accommodation for staff, such as a gardener or chauffeur.
