Garson House

Garson House is an earlier 19th century, plain classical house that has undergone later alterations and additions. It is a two-storey, symmetrical, three-bay structure with a rectangular plan. To the right (north), there is a lower two-storey addition that is recessed, and to the left (south), there is a single-storey piended addition that is also recessed. The exterior is harled over squared rubble with concrete cills.

On the east (principal) elevation, there is a timber panelled door with a three-light fanlight at the ground level in the central bay, with a window above it on the first floor. Each bay has a window on both floors, and the two-bay addition to the right features a screen wall in front of the left bay and a window on each floor to the right. The single-bay addition to the left has a blocked window in the centre.

The west (rear) elevation shows the three-bay main house with a window at each floor in the central and left bays, and a tall stair window in the right bay. The piended addition to the right has a blank, slightly advanced elevation. To the left, there is a two-bay addition with a cat-slide roof, featuring a window on the first floor to the right, a window at ground level on the right return, and a lean-to addition at ground level to the left.

The south (side) elevation features a three-bay addition that is offset to the left, with a tall full-height wallhead stack slightly advanced in the central bay. There is a tall round-arched window in each flanking bay. The main house has a window at each floor to the outer right, and a multi-flue gablehead stack above.

On the north (side and entrance) elevation, there is an advanced blank gabled addition to the right with a gablehead stack. Behind a screen wall in the left bays at ground level, there is a single-storey two-bay lean-to entrance block with a boarded door in each bay. A window is located at the first floor to the outer left of the main house, with a multi-flue gablehead stack above.

The house predominantly features 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roofing consists of old Orkney grey slate, with slate on the additions, a stone ridge, concrete skews, harled corniced stacks, and predominantly cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the property includes architraved timber panelled doors, timber skirting boards, timber panelled shutters, decorative cornices, flagstone floors at ground level, and a timber staircase with decorative cast-iron banisters and a timber handrail. Timber and marble fire surrounds are present in the principal rooms on the first floor.
