House Of Urrard, Killiecrankie

House of Urrard is a two-story, four-bay house built in a Scots-Jacobean style, dating from 1831 and designed by William Burn. A rear wing was rebuilt in the 1860s and again in 1963. The house is constructed from squared rubble stone with stugged quoins and raised quoin strips, with margins. Later portions include squared rubble and harl. A prominent string course runs across the facade.

The east (principal) elevation features a projecting curvilinear gable centrally, incorporating a deeply moulded, pointed-arch doorpiece with a hoodmould and a two-leaf panelled timber door. Above the door is a bipartite window and a dated armorial panel in the gablehead. Windows are present in each floor of the bay to the right of centre, and in the two bays to the left.

The north elevation has two windows, grouped in the centre and to the right, on each floor, with a broad stack breaking the eaves as a gablehead. A gabled return features single windows on each floor and in the gablehead, along with an unobtrusive metal fire escape. A later harled wing is recessed to the right, with a single-story office projecting at the outer right.

The south elevation showcases a projecting curvilinear-gabled bay to the outer right, exhibiting a full-height crenellated, four-light canted window and a shield panel in the gablehead. Recessed bays to the left incorporate two full-height crenellated and canted windows (three-light), flanking a single window bay, and further windows on each floor of the outer left bay. Two round-headed dormers with copper finishes are centrally positioned within the crenellated canted bays; these were added in 2000.

The west elevation includes a later wing with a bipartite window to each floor of a tall gabled bay to the right. A central bay contains a window and a door beyond, which is sheltered by a slated porch, accompanied by two further small windows on the first floor. A lower bay to the left features a fixed window panel set within a masonry surround with a gothic (pointed arch) head. An original piended rubble office wing projects at the outer left, incorporating three timber doors.

Windows have 8- and 12-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case frames. The roof is covered in grey slates. The house features coped ashlar stacks with cans, and ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts. Cast-iron downpipes are complemented by decorative rainwater hoppers.

The interior, last inspected in 2000, includes panelled timber shutters and a carved timber fireplace with green marble cheeks.

A walled garden is situated to the northeast, complete with high, coped rubble walls, a gabled ancillary building, and low, flat-coped walls featuring a decorative ironwork gate.
