Description

The Curling Hut, located on the Grantully Castle Estate, is a rustic timber structure built in the late 19th century. It is a single-storey, three-bay building with a rectangular plan, featuring an outer skin of slender trunk cladding and pointed-arch windows.

On the east elevation, there is a porch with a piend roof, which is slated and has a finial, supported by rustic trunk columns. The porch projects from the center bay and includes a panelled timber door, with windows in the flanking bays. The south elevation features a gabled bay with a single window. The west elevation is blank but has a brick chimney breast in the center, with a stack that pierces the roof slope above. The north elevation is also blank.

The windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern with shaped top lights and are framed in timber. The roof is covered with grey slates, which are largely obscured by moss. The brick stack has corbelled coping, and the building features overhanging eaves with decorative timber cladding and decorative terracotta ridge tiles.
