description
Gribloch House is isolated around one kilometer southwest of Kippen. Stylistically, the modern villa also shows traditional elements. The five axes wide, north-facing main facade is concave. On the right, the facade ends with a massive curve. The very flat sloping copper roof is hidden behind an unadorned parapet. At the rear, two wings, each three-axis wide, frame a swimming pool in front of the arched central section. On the left is a flatter servant wing. Art Deco and neo-Georgian design elements can be found in the interior . In the oval-shaped entrance hall, a staircase with filigree wrought-iron balusters and mahogany handrail leads to the upper floor.
