Description
Inchyra House is a classical building dating from around 1800. It has two storeys and a full basement, featuring a five-window main front. The entrance is highlighted by a fanlight doorpiece, which is flanked by coupled Roman Doric columns. The corners of the building have coupled pilasters, and there is a balustrade at the top along with a central fluted panel. The flank elevations have three windows each, while the rear elevation is constructed of whinstone, and the front and sides are made of ashlar. There is an office court at the rear.
Inside, the main areas are simply decorated but include distinctive cornice designs. A notable feature is the good staircase, which has an oval ceiling supported by pendentives. In 1956, alterations by Gervase Beckett included the addition of pediments to the entrance hall doorcases and a broken pediment to the doorcase. The walls were divided into panels, and the original chimneypiece was replaced by a late 18th-century example in the drawing room, which is a mirror rococo style taken from Panmure House. The dining room features a mirror from Portland Place in London. The library was created by combining two rooms and includes a screen of Roman Doric columns on pedestals.
