Description

Druimuan is a Baronial-style house constructed in 1863 and extended in 1877 and 1907, designed by architect Andrew Heiton Junior. The house is two storeys high and originally comprised five bays, with a bellcast-roofed entrance tower and a corbelled turret. It is built of squared and snecked rubble with ashlar dressings, and features segmental-headed openings, keystones, chamfered arrises, and stone mullions.

The southwest elevation, the principal facade, has a prominent advanced gable to the right of the centre, featuring crenellated canted windows on both floors. A wide, centrally positioned window at ground floor level within a recessed bay has had its centre light converted into a door. Further recessed bays to the right contain a stylised keystone in a segmental opening, with a square window incorporated into a stepped chimney breast and a dominant shouldered stack adjacent to the entrance tower. Lower, set-back bays to the left of the centre feature similar fenestration. A later, single-storey, pentice-roofed link bay connects to the right, and a bay to the outer left is canted at first floor level, corbelled to a square within the gablehead, and features an elongated corbelled turret in the re-entrant angle to the outer left.

The entrance tower is angled in two stages and has a moulded doorpiece leading to a porch at the first stage, containing a part-glazed, panelled timber door. The second stage has a tall, narrow light, surmounted by an attenuated bellcast roof with a decorative cast iron finial.

The southeast elevation has a crenellated tripartite window at each floor in a gabled bay to the left, and windows to each floor of two bays to the right. The window on the outer right at first floor breaks the eaves into a jerkinhead roof.

The northwest elevation is gabled and features a window to each floor to the right.

The northeast elevation, the rear, is a rambling composition with a variety of elements, including a jerkinheaded bay to the left, advanced single-storey offices, and later single-storey extensions.

The windows are timber sash and case with four, eight, and plate glass glazing. Keystoned windows are fixed. The roof is covered in grey slates, and features coped ashlar stacks with flu dividers. Overhanging eaves are present, along with plain bargeboarding, kingposts, cast-iron downpipes, decorative rainwater hoppers, and fixings. The hoppers are dated 1863 and 1907.

The interior was not inspected in 2000.

The property is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls.
