Inverernan House, from 1764. The east elevation is, thanks to G Bennet Mitchell, 1935, a near reproduction of Bellabeg,
dated 1765, with a red granite ashlar front with cherry-cocking. (Formerly had a four-column Roman Doric porch.) The gatepiers of c.1828 are dwarf square piers with low wing walls. Good original timber and iron gates survive. The offices to the north of the house are two-storey, U-plan, harled with margins and with a low pitched broad-eaved roof and an
iron-columned verandah between advance wings, c.1830. (Reconstructed c.1828, and 1935, G Bennet Mitchell.)

The original Inverernan House dates from about 1764, but the present E elevation, with its red granite ashlar front and cherry-cocking, is by G Bennet Mitchell (1935) and is a near reproduction of the facade at Bellabeg House (NJ31SE 109) which dates to 1765.
The house is now used as a private house and art gallery.
