Redbraes, Marchmont House

Redbraes, Marchmont House is a single-storey T-plan house built in the early 20th century, likely by Sir Robert Lorimer. Originally serving as a laundry for Marchmont House, it showcases the Arts and Crafts style. The exterior is constructed from cream sandstone rubble that is harl-pointed, squared, and snecked, with lightly tooled sandstone ashlar dressings in some areas. Features include overhanging bell-cast eaves, rake-jointed quoins, and rake-jointed long and short surrounds around the openings, which have timber mullions and flush cills.

The northwest entrance elevation has a prominent 5-bay porch at the center, topped with a steeply pitched piended roof that breaks the eaves. It features a central two-leaf, part-glazed door, with multi-pane windows in the remaining bays and returns on either side. Above, there is a tripartite dormer with a piended roof projecting from the apex. The outer left and right bays have recessed areas with blind windows at ground level.

On the northeast side, a 3-bay wing extends to the right, with single windows in all bays at ground level and a blocked gabled attic opening above. To the left, a recessed 2-bay wing has steps leading to a part-glazed timber panelled door on the right and a single window in the outer left bay, with a tripartite dormer above.

The southeast rear elevation features a 2-bay wing that projects at the center, with bipartite windows in both bays at ground level and a 4-light glazing row in the centered piended dormer above. The southwest side has a 3-bay wing extending to the left, with single windows in all bays at ground level and a blocked gabled attic opening above. A recessed 2-bay wing to the right has bipartite windows in both bays at ground level and a bipartite dormer centered above.

The house predominantly has 6-pane glazing in timber casement windows, with 16-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows on the sides. The roofs are covered with graded grey slate, featuring piended and bell-cast designs, and are finished with stone ridging. There is a coped sandstone stack with ashlar dressings and circular cans, along with cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen in 1998.
