Description

Auchmore is an 18th-century house, originally built around 1650, with a lower extension to the northeast. It is a well-preserved example of an early two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan house featuring piended window heads that break the eaves, along with a later small outshot at the rear. The exterior is harled with deep-set openings.

The symmetrical southeast elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a central two-leaf panelled timber door with a four-part fanlight above it, along with a small window above the door. There are windows in each flanking bay on both floors, with the first-floor windows breaking the eaves. At the rear, there is a single first-floor window in the centre.

The glazing features 6- and 8-pane patterns in replacement timber sash and case windows, as well as top-opening windows. The roof is covered with graded grey slates and has a stone ridge. The chimneys are coped harled stacks with evidence of thackstanes and some cans, and the skews are broad and ashlar-coped.

Inside, the house has a simple interior characterized by low ceilings, panelled doors and shutters, and timber fire surrounds. There is also a barhole and a bar located behind a door.
