Description
The Torrdarach Hotel, built in 1901 to a design by John Leonard, is a two-story, three-bay house with a piend roof and gables, accompanied by single-story wings. The exterior is harled, featuring a dividing course and a cavetto eaves cornice. The windows are irregularly sized, with moulded aprons and stone mullions.
The west (principal) elevation is characterized by a bay to the right of centre, which has a swept-roof porch supported by three corbelled brackets, sheltering a panelled timber door and a window to the outer right. A further window is located close to the eaves on the first floor. A tripartite window is positioned on each floor of the central bay, with the first-floor window being wide-centred and decoratively-astragalled. A slightly advanced gabled bay is located to the left, featuring two tall windows on the ground floor and a tripartite window on the first floor, all beneath a half-timbered, finialled gablehead.
The south (garden) elevation incorporates a full-height canted bay to the right of centre, featuring a four-light window on each floor with fishscale-clay tiles between. An off-centre wide-centred tripartite window is decorated with astragal glazing, accompanied by a single window to the outer left, and a four-light window to the first floor.
The east elevation highlights a bay to the right of centre with a polygonal-roofed, slightly advanced canted window (the central light having been converted into a door). A bipartite window sits above, and a further single window is at first-floor level, incorporating a half-timbered gablehead with a stack above. A single-story bay extends to the outer right, now featuring a modern lean-to conservatory.
The north elevation showcases two piend-roofed single-story wings projecting at ground level: the wing to the left has a casement window and a flat-roofed dormer above, while the wing to the right has two windows (lacking cornices) to the left.
The windows throughout are timber sash and case with small-pane glazing over plate glass, with leaded coloured glass to the west ground floor right. The roof is covered in grey slates. The chimneys are shouldered, banded and cavetto coped, harled, and include cans, alongside decorative terracotta ridge tiles and finials. Cast-iron downpipes are complemented by decorative rainwater hoppers.
The interior retains a good original scheme, with decorative plasterwork cornices and ceiling roses, timber fireplaces, a dog-leg stair with timber balusters and square newel posts, stylised architraves, and brass sash lifts. A screen door features decoratively-astragalled, leaded, coloured and etched glass. A cloakroom preserves its original tesselated floor, panelled dado, and toilet with timber cistern.
Ancillary buildings are present. The site is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls surmounted by pyramidally-coped square-section ashlar gatepiers.
