Details A west facing U-shaped house, built in three stages. The original section of the house was built in 1760 by James Gordon of Croughly after his marriage. This initial build makes up the centre of the house. It is a single storey plus dormerless attic, 3-bay house, with a centre door. Slightly later wings were added to the rear, forming a U-plan court, and there is a pair of flight holes in each East gable of this portion. In circa 1812 a 2-storey, 3-bay house was added to the North gable of the original house by Robert Gordon (1780-1828). This section has a centre door in the South elevation with a window above. There is symmetrical fenestration in the North elevation, with three large ground and first floor windows, and two windows on each floor of the South gable, one of which is a blind window in each floor. Most of the 12-pane glazing survives. There are end stacks and a Tomintoul slate roof, which is piended on the most recent section. Inside, the original 3-bay house has panelled box-beds in the right, or South, room, and original panelled doors. A small centre stair is framed by narrow wooden reeded pilasters and a segmental headed arch. There are Tomintoul stone flagged floors. The original doorpieces are in the early-19th century portion. There is a coped rubble walled garden, with central square rubble gatepiers. Four field enclosures to the West are shown on both the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps. A small building to the North East of the U-shaped building is also shown, which still stands. John Gordon, the son of Robert, was the last of the line to live at Croughly where he was born in 1818, and died in 1843. Croughly is noted in the National Statistical Account as one of four farms in the parish with 'commodious and substantial' dwelling houses and steadings built 'within last 20 years'. It was originally known as the Laggan, with the earlier Croughly sited further upstream on the Conglass Water.
