Description

Lochrig is a house built in the later 19th century, featuring later additions and alterations. It is a two-storey, three-bay gabled structure, with a central projection and a lower wing at the rear. The exterior is made of squared and snecked tooled sandstone, with droved sandstone dressings and harl-pointed rubble on the sides and rear. The building has droved quoins and long and short surrounds to stop-chamfered openings, with sandstone mullions and projecting cills. The gableheads are adorned with timber bargeboards.

On the southeast (entrance) elevation, there is a step leading to a boarded timber door at the centre of the ground floor, topped by a three-pane fanlight. Sandstone brackets support a pentice porch. At the first floor, there is a bipartite window, and a wallhead stack rises from the gable. The ground floor features tripartite windows in the outer bays, which are recessed, and gabled bipartite windows that break the eaves above.

The northeast (side) elevation shows the main house with a single-storey ancillary structure projecting from the ground. The lower wing is recessed to the right and has a part-glazed boarded timber door to the left, also with a three-pane fanlight. A gabled dormer, offset to the right, breaks the eaves.

On the northwest (rear) elevation, a gabled wing projects at the centre, with a single window at ground level offset to the left. There are blind bays recessed to the left and right, and a single-storey ancillary structure is attached to the outer left.

The southwest (side) elevation features the main house with a bipartite window at ground level, offset to the left of centre. The lower wing is recessed to the left and has a single window at ground level, with a gabled dormer breaking the eaves above.

The windows are timber sash and case with lying-pane glazing. The roof is covered in purple-grey slate, with stone skews, bracketed skewputts, and iron rainwater goods. There is a polygonal wallhead flue at the front, paired brick flues at the southwest apex, and a rendered flue at the northeast, along with a corniced apex stack at the rear featuring paired brick flues and various circular cans.

The interior was not seen in 1998.
