Duchlage, Duchlage Road, Crieff

Duchlage is a farmhouse located on Duchlage Road in Crieff, dating from the earlier to mid 19th century and incorporating earlier materials. It is a two-storey, three-bay building with a piend roof, featuring a jerkinhead porch and dormers. The exterior is constructed of stugged squared and snecked rubble, accented with contrasting ashlar dressings that include raised quoin strips, quoins, and architraved surrounds. The rear is made of snecked rubble with large quoins and chamfered reveals, and there is a deep bull-faced base course. The main entrance features a pilastered, keystoned, round-headed doorway.

On the south elevation, the design is symmetrical, with a porch that has a deep-set panelled timber door at the centre. Flanking windows are present, and the first floor has regular fenestration, with the centre window being slightly smaller and the outer windows extending into dormerheads.

The east elevation has a broad jerkinheaded bay on the left with a window on each floor at the outer right. To the right is a slightly recessed bay with two windows on each floor, although the ground floor left window is partially blocked with a fixed window. A shouldered stack breaks the eaves at the centre.

The north elevation features two jerkinheaded bays, with the left bay having a window on the ground left and a broad pend to the right, along with another window on the right at the first floor. The lower bay on the right is blank.

On the west elevation, there is a jerkinheaded gable to the right, with a slightly recessed bay to the left that has a window on the ground and a smaller window above that breaks into the dormerhead.

The windows throughout the building include 8- and 12-pane, as well as 4- and 8-pane glazing patterns, all in timber sash and case style. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are cavetto-coped ashlar stacks with cans, some of which are polygonal. The eaves are deeply overhanging and supported by distinctive brackets, with cast-iron downpipes featuring a decorative rainwater hopper on the north side.
