Craigellachie House, Dalfaber Road, Aviemore

Craigellachie House, located on Dalfaber Road in Aviemore, is a late 19th to early 20th century single storey and attic villa designed in the Highland estate style. It has been extended at the rear in the late 20th century and is now used as holiday accommodation. The exterior is constructed from coursed, snecked, roughly squared rubble with stugged and droved ashlar dressings, featuring a droved base course. The building has a round-headed doorway with chamfered reveals and gabled dormer windows, along with stone and timber mullions.

On the principal elevation, the bays to the left include a panelled timber door at the centre, set in a gabled porch supported by rustic poles with timbered returns. There are horizontal 3-light windows and a further set-back gable with a horizontal tripartite window on the return to the right. The dominant gable on the outer left features a canted tripartite window below a slated roof with brattishing, along with a small tripartite window in the gablehead. To the right, there is a set-back bay with a single window and a small dormer above, plus a further narrow light on the return. The recessed bays to the right contain two single windows below a centrally-positioned dormer in a piended roof, with a slightly advanced gable on the outer right similar to that on the outer left.

The south elevation has a slightly advanced gable to the left, which is fenestrated like the outer gables above, with a single window in the bay to the right and a two-storey extension to the left. The north elevation features a single bay with a small modern timber porch to the right. The west (rear) elevation shows a variety of elements with four gabled bays and an extension to the outer right.

The windows are timber sash and case with 4-pane and plate glass glazing patterns, including canted windows with external secondary glazing. The roof is covered in graded grey slates and includes small modern rooflights. The building has coped ashlar stacks with polygonal cans, overhanging eaves with plain bargeboarding, and decorative cast-iron and timber-pendant finials. Cast-iron downpipes are fitted with decorative rainwater hoppers. The interior was not seen in 2000.
