Kersewell House

Kersewell House is a country house that developed through several stages of building, ultimately taking on the appearance of a late 17th/early 18th century Scottish house. It has steep, bell-cast roofs, a central range with a shallow plan, and full-height, near-symmetrical flanking pavilions. The house is two storeys high with a basement, and the south-facing garden elevation features a plain, regular arrangement of single window bays. The basement is raised in its entirety.

The house is primarily rubble-built with ashlar dressings, and has small-paned sash windows beneath slate roofs. The earliest elements are visible on the south front, with five bays towards the west dating to the first part of the 18th century. These originally had a central basement door, plain window margins, and a simple moulded cornice. Two further identical bays were likely added to the east in the first half of the 19th century, and the easternmost bay of the original house was reconstructed at that time. The L-plan pavilions and the entrance front fenestration appear later and may have been designed by Peddie & Kinnear.

The entrance front is near symmetrical, although the front wall of the main body of the house is asymmetrically shallow and advanced, featuring a large porch. This asymmetry may have been influenced by the two-bay addition mentioned above. Low additions have been made on either side, with the western addition being constructed of exposed brick.

The interior features mostly 19th-century work, including handsome chimney pieces, decorative cornice plasterwork, and a timber main stair. The property is also known as Bertram House.
