Description
Dalnasgadh House is a 2-storey, 3-bay, gabled house dating from the mid to later 19th century. It is located on Atholl Road, Killiecrankie. The house is constructed of narrow bands of squared rock-faced rubble, occasionally squared and snecked with raised droved ashlar dressings, random rubble, and stugged quoins to the sides and rear.
The principal, southwest elevation features a corniced verandah that shelters a panelled timber door with a plate glass fanlight in the centre bay. A tripartite window sits to the left of the door. A tripartite window also returns to the left of the verandah, along with a lattice band. A piend-roofed window breaks the eaves into a dormerhead above the centre, and a bipartite window is in the gable to the left. To the right is a broad, advanced gabled bay with a canted 4-light window below a pierced blocking course, and a tripartite window in the gablehead above.
The southeast elevation has a broad gable with two windows at ground level and a single window in the gablehead above. The northwest elevation presents a gabled form with a window in the centre at ground level, and a smaller window to the left in the gablehead. The northeast, or rear, elevation features an almost full-width, single-storey lean-to timber structure with a centre door and a single light immediately to its left. Two windows are on the return to the right (the right-hand window is modern) and a further window sits on the recessed face to the outer right. The first floor has two irregular windows to the centre, a window to the outer left in a gabled bay, and a further window breaking the eaves into a dormerhead to the outer right.
The windows are timber sash and case, with 9-pane and plate glass glazing patterns, with some exceptions. The roof is covered in grey slates. There are coped ashlar stacks with decorated square cans. The overhanging eaves have plain bargeboarding and pendant finials. Cast-iron downpipes, square-section with decorative fixings, are located on the southwest side.
A rectangular-plan timber ancillary building is situated to the northwest, with a slated roof, overhanging eaves, a piended hayloft opening, and timber sash and case windows.
Two sets of gatepiers, featuring ball finials and circular rubble construction, support hooped ironwork gates.
