Description

Earnbank House, located on Earnbank Road in Crieff, is an early 19th-century house with later sympathetic additions. It is a two-storey and attic structure with four bays, arranged in an irregular T-plan. The building features squared rubble and harl on the addition, with random rubble at the rear, painted margins, and droved squared rubble quoins.

The south elevation has three bays on the left, which includes a small gabled porch with a two-leaf part-glazed timber door at the center. There are windows in the flanking bays and regular fenestration on the first floor, with a window in the widely spaced bay on the outer right. The west elevation has a gabled design with a window on each floor to the right, a modern conservatory to the left, and a gablehead stack.

The north elevation is largely blank on the right, featuring a window on the ground floor to the left and a small lean-to porch in the re-entrant angle, with an altered window above. The advanced gable on the left has an altered window on the ground floor, two windows on the first floor, and a French window on the return to the right, along with a further door to a narrow recessed bay on the outer left.

The east elevation facing Earnbank Road has a piended design with a single window on the first floor and flanking pedestrian gates. The windows are timber sash and case with 4- and 12-pane glazing patterns, and there are top-opening timber windows in altered openings. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with thackstanes and some polygonal cans. The eaves have a shallow overhang with plain bargeboarding.

Inside, the house features a good traditional decorative scheme, including plain cornices and a winding cantilevered staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters and a timber handrail with decorative fixings.

There is also a slate-roofed rubble ancillary building to the northeast. The property is enclosed by semicircular-coped rubble boundary walls with pyramidally-coped square-section ashlar gatepiers, along with decorative cast-iron and boarded timber gates.
