Harryburn House

Harryburn House is a 2-storey building with a raised basement, constructed in 1827 by John Smith of Darnick. It features a symmetrical, rectangular plan with three bays and regular tripartite windows. The house is distinguished by its Greek portico and a Regency-style balcony, with a stable block located at the rear. The exterior is made of squared and snecked whinstone rubble, complemented by a polished cream ashlar portico, plain architraves, and angle margins. There are band courses at both the basement and principal levels, an eaves cornice, and quoins with long and short dressings at the openings, which have droved tails.

On the southwest entrance elevation, steps lead to an open recessed portico-type porch supported by four square columns in a Greek anta order, arranged in a distyle-in-antis formation, with two outer columns engaged. This porch supports a plain entablature with a cornice and blocking course, with a recessed tripartite doorpiece behind. The basement has single windows, while the outer bays and the area above the doorway feature tripartite windows. A cast-iron Regency-style balcony on the principal floor is supported by slim columns.

The northwest and southeast side elevations each have three bays with single windows on both the principal and first floors. Wing walls on either side are topped with classical urns. The northeast rear elevation, which has three bays, is obscured by a later two-storey piend-roofed bachelor wing that is accessed by a bridge from the first floor.

The original eight-pane sash and case windows on the rear and sides have been replaced by four-pane windows on the main southwest elevation at the principal and first floors. The roof is made of grey slate with a piended design, featuring corniced stacks and moulded octagonal cans.

Inside, the house contains two later wood and composition chimneypieces, original decorative plaster cornices in the principal rooms, a billiard room, panelled doors and shutters, a stone staircase, and iron balusters with a timber handrail.

The stables consist of a single-storey and attic, five-bay, piend-roofed former stables and carriage house, which includes a segmental carriage arch on the southeast elevation that is partially blocked and glazed. A central hayloft dormer breaks the eaves on the northeast entrance elevation.

The property is also enhanced by two pierced cast-iron gatepiers with pyramidal caps and finials located southwest of the lodge, along with cast-iron gates featuring anthemion details and wrought-iron railings with fleur-de-lys heads flanking the gatepiers.
