Gatepiers, Auchenhard House

The summerhouse at Auchenhard House is a later 18th century single-storey and attic structure built on a raised basement. It features a three-bay, plain classical villa design and is currently in a derelict state as of 2003. The southern elevation is constructed of coursed ashlar, while the eastern, northern, and western elevations are made of coursed rubble. Notable architectural details include ashlar string courses, an eaves course, stone cills, and droved ashlar quoins and window surrounds. The central entrance is accentuated by a pediment and features a staircase with an in-filled flying-arch design leading to a round-arched doorway with a keystone. Flanking this entrance are windows for the raised basement and ground floor. There are remains of a former boundary wall on the right side.

On the eastern elevation, there is a central doorway leading to the basement, which connects to semi-derelict brick-built outbuildings. An attic-floor window is positioned off-centre to the right, accompanied by flanking owl holes. The northern elevation features a central long round-arched stair window, with additional windows for the raised basement and ground floor, and a central cast-iron rooflight. The western elevation has a central ground floor window and an attic-floor window off-centre to the left, also with flanking owl holes. Many windows are missing, and the building has a pitched slate roof with straight ashlar skews, coped ashlar gablehead stacks, and circular clay cans.

Inside, the structure is derelict but retains remnants of original fittings, including a stone spiral staircase at the rear, plain moulded cornices and architraves, panelled doors and shutters, and stone fireplaces in the basement.

The summerhouse itself is a single-storey, mono-pitched structure made of random rubble with droved margins and crowstepped gables. It has plain gables to the north and south, with a central timber boarded door on the eastern side flanked by arrow slits, and a concave profile on the western side.

Additionally, there are three square-plan ashlar gatepiers from the early 19th century with pyramidal caps located next to the gatelodge at the main road. There are also two droved round-headed gatepiers that lead to a former flower garden and a Gothick tower situated to the south of the house.
