Description

Kincraig House is a late 18th century, symmetrical, two-storey and attic house facing southeast. It features three bays and has slightly advanced single-storey wings at the rear, forming a U-shaped courtyard. The construction includes pinned random rubble with tooled granite ashlar margins and dressings, and harled flanks and rear.

The house has a shallow advanced central bay with a central door that has a radial fanlight, which is obscured by a wide single-storey porch added in the later 19th century, made of rubble with contrasting tooled sandstone dressings. The first floor has a simple Venetian window with blind side lights, and there is a blocking course topped with three urn finials. A bandcourse runs just below the wallhead, and there are two piended dormers.

Each front gable of the flanking wings features a simple Venetian window with blind side lights on the right, and there are later piended smallhead dormers on the southwest return elevation. The house has 2- and 4-pane glazing, with end stacks on the central block and ridge stacks on the wings, all beneath slate roofs.

At the rear, there is a projecting bowed centre stairwell with a truncated roof. Inside, the hall has a pair of reeded pilasters (though the capitals are missing), and the stairwell features turned wooden balusters. Decorative plaster friezes can be found in the hall, a first-floor bedroom, and the ground floor drawing room, where there is another pair of reeded pilasters with Corinthian capitals flanking an alcove. The drawing room and bedroom both have carved chimneypieces, along with beaded panelled window shutters and doors.

To the west of the house is a meat larder situated on a knoll, constructed of square rubble and featuring a small cellar. The north elevation has a central door, some of which is blocked, and it has a pyramidal slate roof. The interior of the meat larder is plain and in poor condition, with a central beam studded with large iron meat hooks.
