Prestonfield House was burnt down in 1681 and rebuilt in 1687, and the present building, though it may incorporate remains of earlier work, is mainly of the latter date. It is an unusually well-preserved example of a wealthy merchant's house of the period, oblong on plan, with modern extensions on N and E. It is four storeys and a garret high and the walls are harled.
