Description

Kimmerghame Mains, Kimmerghame House is a later 18th century building, possibly dating from earlier, with an early 19th century wing to the northeast and mid-19th century remodelling and additions to the southwest, along with a later single-storey addition to the northeast. This is a two-storey, six-bay house featuring line-rendered walls with ashlar dressings, some of which have been repaired with concrete. The exterior includes ashlar margins and strip pilasters.

On the southeast elevation, the bays are arranged in a 1-3-1-1 grouping. The three-bay group consists of regularly spaced bays, featuring a panelled door with an eight-pane rectangular fanlight above, sheltered by an ashlar corbelled canopy. There is a window on the first floor, with additional windows in each of the flanking bays. Each bay has a first-floor window topped with a crowstep-gabled dormerhead, which includes a blinded ashlar arrow-slit at the gablehead. The outer left bay is taller and slightly advanced, with a broad raised crowstep-gable and a window on each floor, along with an ashlar corbelled canopy above the first-floor window and an ashlar ball finial at the apex. The bay to the right of centre is set back slightly and has a lower ridge height, with a window on each floor that breaks the eaves at the first floor, featuring an ashlar skew-coped dormerhead. The outer right bay is a single-storey later addition with a window.

The northwest elevation originally featured a single-storey projection that was raised to two storeys in the mid-19th century, creating a crowstep-gabled projection at the centre of a three-bay group, which has windows on both the ground and first floors. There is a boarded door to the outer right of the southwest return and a stair window at the first floor to the left of the northeast return elevation. Each flanking bay also has a window on both floors. The outer right bay is a slightly advanced crowstep-gabled blank bay topped with an ashlar ball finial. There is a timber-mullioned bipartite window at ground level in the bay to the left of the three-bay group, along with a boarded door to a single bay on the outer left, which has a further lean-to addition with another boarded door to the left.

The house features 12-pane timber sash and case windows and has a graded slate roof. Ashlar coped stacks are present at the gable apex flanking the three-bay group and at the single bay gable to the northeast, all of which have been heightened later. A rain hopper is located between the ground and first floor at the northwest corner of the central projection at the rear.

The interior was not seen in 1996.
