Description

The Ice House at Glenloin House in Arrochar is an earlier 19th century, two-storey, three-bay house designed in the Regency style. It is constructed of pink sandstone rubble that has been repointed and was originally harled, featuring quoin strips, a base course, and projecting mutuled timber eaves.

On the west elevation, there is a centrally located door with an Ionic columned and corniced doorpiece, leading to a half-glazed door topped with a plate glass fanlight. Flanking the door are corniced windows at ground level. The first floor has three windows arranged symmetrically, each with external wooden shutters. At the centre of the roof, there are two square timber dormers. To the outer right, there is a single-storey wing with a lean-to timber conservatory.

The windows are four-pane plate glass timber sash and case types. The roof is piended slate with lead flashings, and there are corniced wallhead stacks with circular cans.

The icehouse is a simple square-plan structure built into a ditch to the north of the house, featuring a rectangular opening and a cement, plank-lined interior.

The gatepiers are square-plan with pyramidal caps.

Inside, the hall includes cast-iron balusters and plain cornices.
