Description
Kindrogan House is a substantial early 19th-century house, built on the site of an earlier structure, possibly from the mid-18th century, with later additions and alterations. It is a two-storey building with a crowstepped design, a courtyard at the rear, crowstepped gabled dormerheads, and a consoled doorpiece. The exterior is mainly harled with painted stone margins, and random rubble with large squared rubble granite quoins.
The principal, or southeast, elevation is symmetrical. A projecting gabled bay dominates the centre at ground level, featuring a keystoned, pilastered doorpiece with moulded scroll consoles supporting a fielded blocking course and a two-leaf panelled timber door. A full-width cornice above this gives way to a tripartite window with narrow lights to the returns at both floors, and a tiny round-headed light in the stepped and finialled gablehead. Flanking bays are recessed with windows to each floor; those on the first floor have a blind shield to the gabled dormerheads. The outer bays have a window to each floor and prominent corbelled polygonal gablehead stacks.
The southwest elevation consists of a regularly-fenestrated ten-bay design, with a polygonal stack to the gable at bay 5, and four taller bays to the right. The northeast elevation demonstrates a variety of architectural elements across its six-bay span, including a gable similar to the one on the outer right and blocked windows to each floor at the outer left. Access to the courtyard is from the outer right. The northwest elevation is asymmetrically-fenestrated, constructed from rubble, and features a timber door to the left and a projecting harled bay to the outer right.
The altered service courtyard, accessed from the northeast elevation, contains what is likely the earliest fabric of the house in the centre bays, with a raised basement and crowstepped gablets breaking the eaves. A rubble block to the northwest of the courtyard is also early.
Most windows are timber sash and case, with 4-, 12-, and 15-pane glazing patterns and plate glass. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with polygonal cans, as well as ashlar-coped skewputts with moulded skewputts.
The interior of the principal southeast block retains good decorative details and a later 19th-century scheme. This includes decorative plasterwork cornicing, fluted reveals, panelled shutters, and architraved doorways with scroll-consoled cornices. A part-cantilevered dog-leg staircase features decorative cast-iron balusters and a segmentally-arched landing. The dining room on the ground floor right has a honeycomb ceiling and plain cornicing. A Tudor-arched marble fireplace with a fine cast-iron fireback decorated with crowns and fleur-de-lis is located on the ground floor left.
To the northeast of the house is a rectangular walled garden with flat-coped rubble walls. A symmetrical, single-storey and attic, three-bay garden house with a slated rubble roof abuts the garden wall to the northwest.
