Description
Duncryne House is a mid-19th century cottage that underwent significant remodelling in the early 20th century, featuring Arts and Crafts details. The exterior is finished with whitewashed render and includes half-timbering details, bargeboards, and projecting eaves secured with scrolled cast-iron ties.
On the southwest elevation, there is a broad bargeboarded gable on the outer left with projecting eaves. A porch recess is located at the right corner, supported by a single timber shaft, while a multi-paned glazed bay projects to the left. The first floor features a canted oriel supported by timber brackets, flanking multi-paned windows. To the right, a lower single-storey range has bipartite multi-paned windows arranged symmetrically, with catslide bipartite dormers and a modern rooflight to the left.
The northwest elevation includes a verandah on the outer left, with wooden pillar posts that have delicate carvings. The centre features an opening with an inner panelled door flanked by tall multi-paned windows. There are two tripartite swept-roofed dormers symmetrically placed. The gable on the outer right is recessed, with a tall window at the ground level on the outer left and a small window above.
On the northeast (rear) elevation, there is a broad gable on the outer right, with the roof sweeping low over the verandah to the right. It has two tall multi-paned windows symmetrically placed at the ground level and a small window to the outer left in the gable. A three-bay asymmetrical range is recessed at the centre, featuring a corbelled string course on red sandstone corbels and multi-paned windows. An advanced gabled section is located on the outer left, with a single-storey outbuilding forming a wing.
The windows are timber multi-paned casements, though some have been replaced with plate glass. The roof is covered with graded grey slate and features lead flashings, with rendered ridge stacks topped with red sandstone coping.
The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1996.
