Description
Pitcairns House is a building designed by William Burn, constructed between 1827 and 1828. It features an asymmetrical, cottage-style design and is made of two-storey stugged ashlar with mullioned windows. The first floor includes dormer heads, and the chimneys have diagonal shafts where they have not been rebuilt. There is also a lower single-storey and attic wing, along with a single-storey court of offices located at the northeast.
The gatepiers, quadrant walls, and boundary walls along Forgandenny Road consist of polygonal ashlar gatepiers topped with ball finials. The quadrant walls have square-section outer piers that transition into semicircular-coped rubble boundary walls, which extend between the grid references NO024/145 and NO028/145.
