Terregles House
Terregles House was a mansion in the Scottish village of Terregles in the Council Area Dumfries and Galloway . Although the building itself was demolished in the meantime, the associated stables were included in the Scottish monument lists in 1971 in the highest monument category A.
description
The mansion was in the middle of a spacious property on the northern edge of Terregles. The nucleus of the mansion was probably built in the late 1780s when a new house in Terregles was described. The English architect Robert Smirke was responsible for the expansion and refinement in the 1830s . In 1956 a fire ravaged the manor house. It was subsequently canceled in 1964.
stables
The stables are about 200 m south of the former manor house. They were probably built around 1831 according to a design by Smirk. The classically designed, one-story buildings completely enclose an inner courtyard. This is accessible through a round arched doorway which, unlike the quarry stone masonry on the rest of the building, is made of ashlar. Central and corner risers emerge on the seven-axis east side. The flank is designed with continuous beams and pilasters . Twelve-part lattice windows with closing cornices are installed. The roofs are covered with slate.
