Stainson House, Spey Street, Garmouth

Stainson House, located on Spey Street in Garmouth, is a mid-18th century building with later additions. It is a two-storey, three-bay house featuring a single-storey, single-bay addition set back at the east gable, and a further single-storey, two-bay addition that projects at right angles from the southwest angle, creating an L-plan layout. The exterior is harled over clay and bool, with tooled ashlar margins framing the central door, which is now obscured by a modern sun porch. The ground and outer first-floor windows have been slightly enlarged.

The original modern casement glazing has been replaced with multi-paned sash windows, featuring 12 panes on the ground floor and 9 panes on the first floor, installed in 1995. The house has tooled ashlar coped stacks and a slate roof. The front garden is enclosed by a low wall.

Inside, a few early fittings remain, such as a panelled door and remnants of a dado rail. Dado rails have been reinstated in the principal rooms as of 1995. A large cast-iron range with flanking cupboards is still present behind later plaster linings on the gable of the single-storey wing at the southwest angle.
