Description

Inchmartine House is a three-storey and attic house with a vaulted cellar, dating from around 1800 and featuring a remodelling of earlier fabric. It has a six-bay classical design with a piend-and-platform roof, a portico, and low two-storey wings that project to the rear. The exterior is harled with raised stone margins and quoin strips, while the wings are made of rubble and stucco. Notable architectural details include base and eaves courses, a moulded cornice, and a stepped blocking course, along with stone corbels and mullions.

On the southwest (principal) elevation, the central bay at ground level features steps leading up to a four-columned portico with a cavetto cornice and blocking course. There is a deep-set two-leaf panelled timber door flanked by pilasters and lights, with additional outer pilasters. The flanking bays contain two windows, and the upper floors have regular fenestration.

The southeast elevation has two wide tripartite windows on the ground and first floors, with the right ground window featuring a part-glazed door at the centre. There are two single windows on the second floor, and a lower wing to the right has five windows on the ground floor and three on the first floor.

The northwest elevation is dominated by a canted five-light oriel window at the centre, supported by moulded corbels, flanking a single window with another window above. There are windows in the outer first-floor bays, six windows on the ground floor, and one on the first floor of the stuccoed lower wing that projects at the outer left.

The northeast (rear) elevation has been altered and features a variety of asymmetrically-disposed openings, some of which are part-blocked, including two stair windows to the right of centre. The lower wings project at the outer angles, forming a small courtyard.

The windows are timber sash and case with 8-, 12-pane, and plate glass glazing patterns, including a seven- and fourteen-pane pattern in the oriel, as well as decorative astragals and coloured glass in the stair windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks. Cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers are located on the east side.

Inside, there is a stone scale and platt stair of earlier date, along with plain and decorative plasterwork cornices. The hall features a flagstone floor, carved timber fireplaces, full-height and dado panelling, and working shutters.
