Description
Balhomie House is a sizeable Scots Jacobean mansion dated around 1900, featuring two storeys with dormer heads. The exterior is harled with stone dressings and includes 12 and 18 pane sash windows. The east entrance front has a prominent advanced one-window section on the right with a crowstepped gablet and a circular conical-roofed entrance tower at the re-entrant angle. This entrance is adorned with a flinted Doric pilastered doorpiece, a three-light mullioned and transomed stair window, and two bays that include a round-arched luggage entrance topped with pedimented dormer heads. To the left is a lower set-back wing with four first-floor windows featuring dormer heads, and irregular fenestration below, including a two-light semi-circular pediment. There is also a single-storey octagonal pavilion of earlier date on the extreme right with lying panes. The south elevation features a circular corner tower on the left, a pedimented dormer head window above a round-arched window, and a three-light oriel window over porch ground floor windows, all topped with a crowstepped gable that includes a three-window bow. The west front is simpler and includes a terrace, and the building is topped with slated roofs.
