Description
Tirinie House is a 2-storey country house built in 1934 by Oswald Milne. It has a roughly L-shaped plan and is designed in a traditional style. The exterior is harled with sandstone dressings, and all the windows are sash and case with 6, 12, or 15-pane glazing. The south front is symmetrically designed in a shallow U-plan, with the first floor slightly set back. It features a 3-bay center, with a French window on the left and three gablet dormer heads. The outer gables have two windows on the ground floor and one on the first floor.
The entrance is located on the east side in a bowed 2-storey porch situated in the re-entrant angle. There is a gabled wing to the north that includes a basement and attic.
The north elevation has an irregular U-plan, while the west elevation features four windows and a projecting chimney breast, with tall banded and coped stacks beneath a slate roof.
Inside, the house boasts high-quality furnishings, particularly notable are the barley-sugar balusters on the stairs and the lattice screens below. There are also fine marble chimneypieces. Additionally, there is delicate wrought-iron work that screens the cellar entrance and is located at the southeast angle of the house, which appears to be re-used gates.
