Description
Freeland House is a small neo-Jacobean mansion built around 1850, possibly designed by William Burn. It is two stories high and features dormer heads, with stugged coursers and polished ashlar dressings. The building has chamfered margins and a moulded string course at the first floor level.
The north entrance elevation is stepped and consists of three bays, with a central two-story gabled entrance bay located in a re-entrant angle. This entrance bay includes an open semi-elliptically arched porch on the ground floor and a casement window above. To the right, there is an advanced section with a three-light canted bay that is cavetto-corbelled to a square and gabled, featuring a casement window. The recessed section to the left has a sash window at the ground floor and a casement window in the gablet above.
On the east elevation, there is a canted three-light bay with a three-light casement window above it, along with a lower section that has one window and a dormer. The west elevation mirrors this with a similar canted bay and a single sashed light above, plus a lower two-window wing that connects to a slightly advanced gable added to the rear. The house retains its original small-paned glazing and has a slated roof with bracketed eaves, pendants, and barge boards. The chimney stacks are made of corniced ashlar and consist of clusters of square shafts.
