Mossburnford House

Mossburnford House is an early 19th century, three-storey house with a basement, possibly incorporating earlier elements. A porch was added shortly after its original construction. The building features coursed cream sandstone with ashlar dressings and quoins, a cill course at the first floor, and shorter second-floor windows beneath an ashlar eaves course. The overhanging eaves are interrupted by wallhead stacks.

On the south front elevation, the basement area is spanned by a central porch, which is approached by splayed rubble walls with semicircular coping. The basement includes a window under the porch and flanking tripartite windows, with a band course above. The corniced porch has a pair of Tuscan columns flanking a boarded door with a letterbox fanlight. The return walls feature single windows, while the flanking bays have Venetian windows set in recessed shallow arches. The upper floors display regular fenestration.

The east elevation is mostly blank, except for a projecting gabled basement closet on the right and a second-floor window on the far left. A broad wallhead stack is located at the center.

The north elevation has three very irregular bays, with a shallowly bowed bay on the left that contains tripartite windows at the basement and ground levels, and single windows above. At the center, an enclosed timber bridge across the basement area provides access to the back door, with two stair windows above. The right bay is blank but has two small windows at the first floor.

The west elevation consists of two bays flanking a broad wallhead stack, with a blank basement and windows in each bay above.

The house has 4-pane timber sash and case windows, with 12-pane windows at the rear. The Venetian windows feature Y-glazing, and there are grilles on the basement windows. The roof is piended and covered with grey slates, and there are rendered stacks.

The interior was not seen in 1992. There are remains of a walled garden to the northeast.
