Description
Underwood House is a late 18th-century house. The exterior is harled, with two storeys and a basement. It features an area and a balustraded parapet. The facade is arranged with a 1-1-1 bay configuration, with a slightly projecting central section topped by a small pediment and a single ornamental urn. A projecting stone porch is present, flanked by coupled sash windows. The roof is hipped and covered in slate, with moulded eaves. A two-storey modern addition has been constructed to the right side. The rear elevation rises to three storeys and includes a central bowed projection. Inside, a good staircase is a notable feature. References to the house appear in the New Statistical Account (Volume V, page 765) and the 3rd Statistical Account (page 601).
