Description
Lurg is a house dating from around 1750, situated facing south. It is two storeys high and three bays wide, constructed of harled rubble with tooled granite dressings. The central door is located in the middle bay and rises above the wallhead, topped with a gablet that features a small attic window and an apex stack.
The first floor has five narrow windows, with pairs in the outer bays and a single small attic light in each gable. The windows have four-pane glazing. The end stacks have been renewed, but the original coping remains on the gablet stack. The roof is covered with local slate and is swept in the gablet valleys.
There is also a later addition, a single storey, two-bay wing at the east gable, which has a Welsh slate roof.
