Description

The Cricket Pavilion at Kincarrathie House, designed by Smart, Stewart and Mitchell in 1924-1925, is a two-storey building in the Arts and Crafts style. It features a distinctive timber octagonal section with an upper veranda and a domical roof on the northeast side, overlooking the cricket pitch. The structure is built of rubble and timber, with some split-log boarding on the upper storey dormers. The pavilion includes various bi- and tripartite windows and has gabled, cat-slide, and jerkin-headed dormers that break the wallhead.

On the northwest elevation, the design is asymmetrical, showcasing a roughly six-bay rubble section to the right, which includes part-glazed entrance doors at ground level. There is a gabled dormer on the far right with a single window below, and a near-central cat-slide dormer that meets the octagonal roof on the far left. An off-centre covered timber dog-leg stair leads to the upper storey timber balcony, which has a part-glazed entrance door.

The southeast elevation is also asymmetrical with approximately six bays. It features bipartite and single window openings at ground level, a central cat-slide dormer with a bipartite window below, a two-bay jerkin-headed dormer on the far left, and a two-bay cat-slide dormer to the right that abuts the octagonal roof.

The northeast elevation consists of the octagonal section with an upper storey verandah that has a timber balustrade supported by log columns. There are a pair of tripartite French doors leading to the verandah, small window openings at ground level, and a swept domical roof topped with a mock doocot at the apex.

Inside, as of 2013, the room layout remains largely original, though the rooms have been mostly refurbished. The pavilion features panelled timber doors and predominantly multi-pane timber replacement casement windows, along with some jerkin-headed, cat-slide, and swept dormers, all topped with red roof pantiles.
