Description
Houstoun House is an L-plan mansion that began construction in 1600. The northwest arm was extended and returned northeastwards, with a scale and platt stair inserted between the old and new northeast arms in 1737, as indicated by the date over the entrance. The building has four storeys and a garret, featuring harled corble-step gables and a slated roof. Inside, there are impressive interiors panelled in Memel Pine, and the first storey is vaulted. There are 19th-century additions on the northeast and southeast sides. To the northwest, there is a court bounded on the northeast and southwest by walls, and on the northwest by two-storey offices built around 1600, which are known as the 'Woman House' and also feature a vaulted first storey.
