Details Findrassie House dated circa 1790, on earlier site and possibly incorporating earlier fabric (NJ16NE0032). Later additions by William Robertson, in 1826. 2-storey and attic, south facing 3-bay house and lower 2-storey wing set back at the west gable. Squared tooled ashlar frontage with harled flanks to rear and wing, with tooled and polished ashlar dressings and margins. Central entrance approached by short flight of steps. There is a corniced, lugged and moulded doorpiece with rectangular fanlight with 'Gothic' glazing and panelled door. Regular front fenestration with longer first floor windows and single first floor windows in east and west gables. Originally the rear had symmetrical fenestration, the regularity marred by later alterations. 1826 wing with ground and single first floor windows and with large regular 2-bay window pattern in the north elevation. Two later piended dormers and mainly 12-pane glazing. Rusticated quoins in main house and moulded eaves cornice. Tall end stacks with moulded copes and slate roofs with modern solar panels at ridge. Circa 1790 pair square ashlar gatepiers with corniced square caps surmounted by ball finials. Pair cast-iron carriage gates.
