Description
Blervie is a house dated 1776, facing south, with two storeys and a dormerless attic. It features a symmetrical five-bay design, constructed with pinned, squared rubble on the front and harl pointed rubble on the flanks, accented by polished ashlar dressings and margins. The centre bay is slightly advanced and gabletted, featuring a rusticated doorpiece, a small attic window, and an apex stack. The east gable has single windows on the ground, first floor, and attic, while the west gable has paired windows on the ground and first floors, along with a similar attic window, all with 12-pane glazing.
The house includes rusticated quoins and decorative lipped scroll skewputts, with the southwest corner dated and featuring a carved nautilus shell on the gable faces. The ashlar end stacks have moulded copes, and the roof is covered with slate. There is also a later single-storey, three-bay rear wing.
Inside, the entrance and stair hall contains a cantilevered staircase that rises full-height around a square stairwell. The staircase has reused treads with moulded risers, which are truncated at the outside edge, and the underside is recut with the date 1776. Twisted wrought-iron balusters are found between the ground and first floors, with turned wooden balusters above. The ceilings have simple moulded cornices, and there are raised and fielded panelled doors and window shutters. The dining room features a black marble chimneypiece, while the drawing room has a later 19th-century carved chimneypiece with a white marble slip. One attic room contains a reused late 17th-century moulded chimneypiece, possibly from Blervie Castle.
