Description
Inchgrundle is a house likely built in the early 19th century, with later alterations and possibly incorporating earlier materials. It is a two-storey, roughly six-bay structure with an irregular arrangement of windows. The house features a gable head and central ridge stacks, an off-centre porch, and gabled and lean-to extensions at the rear. The exterior is finished in painted random rubble.
The front elevation has a half-glazed timber-boarded door located in a slated porch to the left of centre. The windows on both floors are irregularly spaced. The rear elevation also has an irregular arrangement of windows, with a lean-to extension to the left of centre and a gabled outshot with a gable head stack to the right. There are timber-boarded back doors for both outshots and two rooflights in the attic of the main building. The windows are timber sash and case, featuring 4-pane glazing in various sizes. The chimney stacks are coped and predominantly have octagonal yellow clay cans, while the skews are ashlar-coped. The roof is covered with purple Welsh slate and topped with ridge tiles.
Inside, the property has been largely modernised, but there is a simple painted granite ashlar chimneypiece in the old kitchen.
The steading range, dating from the later 19th century, is an L-plan structure with timber-boarded doors, a hayloft entrance on the east gable, and large sliding doors on the east elevation of the west range. The floor is cobbled, and the building is made of random rubble with dressed quoins, featuring both Welsh and Scottish slate.
There is also a bothy, a single-storey, three-bay derelict cottage located to the southwest of the steading, built in the late 19th century. It is constructed from squared, coursed dressed granite with pinning stones, featuring a central timber-boarded door flanked by windows and a lean-to outshot on the south gable. The bothy has coped gable head stacks and a Welsh slate roof, with simple chimney pieces in both rooms.
Additionally, there is a 19th-century gabled rectangular-plan store or byre situated to the northwest of the house, made of random rubble with squared quoins and a corrugated-iron roof.
