Earnslaw House, Main Street, Leitholm

Earnslaw House is a plain classical house dating from the earlier to mid 19th century, with a later addition. It is two stories tall and has three bays, along with a single-storey, single-bay wing on the right and a single-storey lean-to addition at the rear. The exterior is made of squared and snecked stugged cream sandstone with droved margins, stugged quoins, and stugged long and short surrounds to chamfered openings. The windows feature stop-chamfered sandstone mullions and projecting cills, while the southwest elevation has a coursed rendered finish.

On the southeast entrance elevation, there is a step leading to a timber panelled door at the center of the ground floor, topped by a three-pane fanlight. Flanking the door are bipartite windows at ground level, with a single window above on the first floor. The single-storey wing to the right also has a centrally placed bipartite window.

The northeast side elevation features the single-storey wing with a timber door at the center of the ground floor and a single opening aligned above. There are two-leaf boarded timber doors in the bay to the right.

The southwest side elevation is a blind elevation to the main block, with a single-storey lean-to addition on the outer left. The northwest rear elevation was not visible in 1998.

The main house has timber sash and case windows with four-pane glazing, while the single-storey wing has eight-pane glazing. The roofs are covered with grey slate and feature timber bargeboards. There are mutuled and corniced brick apex stacks on the southwest and northeast, with circular cans.

The interior was not seen in 1998. The property is enclosed by low coped sandstone boundary walls, with iron railings and iron gates.
