House, grounds and stables depicted on the OS 1st and 2nd edition maps on which it is named Cairnbank. The stables are dated 1825, and the house was built in circa 1830, although it may incorporate earlier parts. On the 1st edition OS map (1862), the stables to the North-East of the house are annotated as offices. There is a walled garden between the house and offices: a pump stands within the garden. On the 2nd edition OS map (1901), the West range of the stables has been extended, and is no longer referred to as offices. A small outbuilding to the West of the stables shown on the 1st edition OS map has been removed and a new one added to the North of the site. On the revised 2nd edition OS map, the site is named Templewood. The irregular ashlar-faced house is built in the Tudor Gothic style. It is built on a rough H-plan, with an L-plan two-storey wing to the South-East, and a rectangular two-storey wing to the North-West, both oriented North-East/South-West. This is joined by a two-storey wing that is T-plan, filling the area between two end wings to the North-East. This North-East end has a single-storey lean-to extension projecting further. The North-West elevation has a single-storey wing adjacent, projecting beyond the North-East end. There is a gabled entrance porch in the South-East elevation within the angle of the L-plan wing. The gable ends on the South-West elevation has large canted windows to the ground-floor. The roofs are mostly gabled, with various gabled bays and dormered windows breaking the wallheads. The North-West two-storey section of the T-plan wing has a piended roof. The two-storey, rubble-built stables are on an irregular U-plan, open to the North. The frontage is on the eight-bay South elevation. The centre four bays are slightly advanced and have a pediment above, with a dummy oculus within the tympanum. It has ball finials and a central weathervane. The ground floor doors and windows are in segmental arches, and the first-floor windows are rectangular. The West range is irregular, with the Northern section slightly to the East, and with a lean-to roof. The East range has a single-storey, lean-to addition on the East elevation.
