Description
Lochend House, located in North Roe, is a late 18th century two-storey and attic house with three bays, featuring a mid-19th century two-bay extension to the north, resulting in a five-bay principal elevation arranged in a 2-3 grouping. The exterior walls are harled. The asymmetrical west (principal) facade includes an entrance door located in the penultimate bay on the right, with a raggle indicating a former porch roof and a window centered above it at the first floor. The other bays display regular fenestration at both the ground and first floors. At the east (rear) elevation, there is a lean-to addition that projects to the north, containing a door and window on its west side, along with a two-flue wallhead stack on the end wall at the north.
The house features four-pane timber sash and case windows at the ground level in the penultimate and outer bay to the left, while modern glazing is present elsewhere. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes piend-roofed, slate-hung canted timber dormers with aprons and finials over the outer bays of the original house and centered over the bays of the extension. The gables at the north and south have harled three-flue apex stacks with copes and cans, as well as the former north gable of the earlier house.
There is a single-storey, three-bay gabled and harled outbuilding located to the rear (east) of the house. Additionally, a random rubble garden wall extends north and curves east to enclose the garden situated to the north of the house.
