Raecleugh Head

Raecleugh Head is a two-storey, four-bay house built in the later 19th century, featuring elements of Northern European shooting lodge style. The structure is made of red squared and snecked sandstone, with stugged sandstone dressings and a base course with chamfered arrises.

On the southeast elevation, there is a taller gabled three-bay section to the right. Each bay has a timber transomed window on both floors, with all being mullioned except for the flanking bays of the three-bay group at ground level. A continuous cill course runs along the first floor, supported by timber posts from the gable to the cill course. The gablehead features a heraldic shield, and there is a modern glazed porch at the ground level of the left bay.

The southwest elevation consists of three bays, with an additional two-bay group returning to the projection on the southeast. There are transomed and mullioned windows at ground level in the centre and right bays, and a tripartite window at the first floor in the centre. The right bay is slightly advanced and gabled, featuring a bipartite window at the first floor. Timber posts extend from the eaves to the ground at the outer extremes of the bay and flanking windows. The left bay is slightly set back and has two windows at ground level. The return elevation to the projection on the southeast has a two-bay blank section at ground level, with timber mullioned and transomed windows in each bay at the first floor above.

The northwest elevation has three bays, with a door and window at the centre. The outer bays are gabled and contain windows at both ground and first floors. There is a single-storey projection on the outer left with a gabled end, featuring a door and a modern quadripartite window on the return to the southwest elevation.

The small-pane timber windows on the southeast elevation contrast with the modern windows on the northwest elevation. The slate roof is topped with a weathervane and an ornamental metal ball finial on the gable of the projection to the southeast, and the rafters are exposed. Brick stacks are located at the centre of the northwest elevation. The interior was not seen in 1995.
