Description
The Kennel House at Marchmont House is a symmetrical two-storey, three-bay house built around 1910. It features gabled upper windows and is finished with harled walls and plain sandstone margins, along with projecting cills.
On the northwest entrance elevation, there is a timber panelled door in the center of the ground floor, topped by a plate glass fanlight. The ground floor has single windows in the flanking bays, while the gabled windows above break the eaves.
The northeast side elevation is blind, and the southeast rear elevation has a single window centered on the first floor, with single windows in the flanking bays at ground level. The southwest side elevation is also blind.
The house has timber sash and case windows with 2-pane lower and 6-pane upper glazing. The roof is covered with grey slate and features sandstone ridging and timber bargeboards. Cast-iron rainwater goods are present, along with corniced, brick-built apex stacks that have various circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1998.
