Stables, Cullen House

The stables at Cullen House are an irregular U-shaped, two-storey range built in the early 18th century, likely by architects James Smith and Alexander McGill. The structure features a mix of construction styles, with rubble walls that are harled on the inner face and have ashlar margins.

The south elevation has slightly advanced outer wings, each containing blocked or altered segmental-headed carriage house entrances, and shallow swept louvred dormers in the roofs of the outer bays. The north elevation, which faces the courtyard, is a narrow and slightly irregular five-bay design with alternating doorways on the ground floor and loft windows above.

At the center of the roof, a small early 19th-century clock plinth is topped with a diminutive leaded dome supported by slender struts. There is also a short two-storey, two-bay wing projecting from the northwest side of the inner face of the early block, which includes two carriage houses on the ground floor. Additionally, a similar two-storey, seven-bay range is located at the northeast angle, featuring three carriage houses on the ground floor.

The windows have six- and twelve-pane glazing, and the building has ridge and wallhead coped stacks, with roofs covered in Banffshire slate. The remainder of the courtyard is enclosed by rubble walls, with the entrance flanked by simple rubble gatepiers (without gates). The short driveway is bordered by swept coped walls topped with recumbent lions on each side.
