Small 18th century house remodelled and enlarged in 1822 by
Robert Lugar, though not completed quite as Lugar's plans
show. A considerable amount of demolition work was carried
out in 1950s, mainly to S and E elevations, though the main
portion of Lugar's house remains intact.
2-storey picturesque house; roughcast in 20th-century,
polished raised margins and rusticated quoins, all painted.
Most ground floor windows tripartite, all with consoled
cornice. 1st floor windows single-light; some with consoled
cornice. Plate glass or 4-pane glazing.
W (entrance) elevation 3-bay with taller bold advanced centre
bay. Projecting single-storey porch with hood-moulded
round-arched doorway; glazed fanlight, double-leaf panelled
doors. Part of central blocks of S elevation demolished so
now has exaggerated U-plan with taller advanced pavilions and
deeply recessed 3-bay central block.
Asymmetrical N and E elevations with 1 and 2 storey
projections. Canted oriel to N at 1st supported on stone
corbels. Hipped slate roofs, tall octagonal stacks, mostly
arranged in linked groups; octagonal cans.
INTERIOR: dining and drawingroom redecorated circa 1860 with
anthemion and honeysuckle plaster cornice with egg and dart
frieze. Ionic screen to diningroom supporting stencilled and
painted frieze; door tympani similarly detailed; round-arch
black marble chimneypiece. Drawingroom with elaborate French
rococo style plasterwork and panelling; original fireplace
and pelmet boards.
House not completed as Lugar's 1823 plan shows. Large
projecting bow to W containing bow-ended drawing-room never
built. Original roofs deeply overhanging with timber
bracketted eaves. Present roof line probably circa 1860s.
Part of Glenlee Park B Group.
