Description Spynie House is situated on the edge of the village. The original part of the house dates from the late 18th century and was at one point lived in by the local quarrymaster. It is an attractive stone built house, with a slate roof. The house was initially extended at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and most recently in 1992, using existing stone, to create an open plan office linked to the house, with a further office upstairs. This wing of the house (which has its own entrance), has considerable potential as ancillary accommodation for the house, or as an annexe. A new boiler was fitted in 2007 and the kitchen was refurbished in 2005. The original part of the house was re-roofed in 2002 and the sun room was added in the late 1990s. The house is double glazed. As such it is an attractive house, well designed for modern living. The original upstairs reception room could be used as a large master bedroom, creating a spacious four bedroom house.
