Description
Kilmore House is a former vicarage that has been converted into a house. The east wing dates from the early 18th century and incorporates an older wall, likely medieval, on its west side. This wing has been raised and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The adjoining west wing, which forms a T-plan, is from the early 19th century. The building is constructed of coursed rubble limestone with a stone slate roof and features rendered and ashlar chimneys. It is two storeys tall, with the east wing also having an attic.
The west wing consists of four bays, featuring boxed sash windows on the first floor, with the outer windows being four panes wide. The ground floor has large 20th-century three-light wooden casements with transoms and horizontal glazing bars in the center. All windows have dressed stone jambs and wooden lintels. To the right, there is a glazed door in a Gothick style, accompanied by a 19th-century gabled stone porch. This porch includes a re-used 14th-century stone archway with a single chamfer and hoodmould, as well as a small cusped niche containing a statuette.
The east wing also has four bays, with the third bay featuring a four-pane sash in an arched staircase window and an octagonal light in a square stone surround above. The other bays have three-pane sashes on the first floor and full-height openings below, with the left bays containing plate-glazed sashes and the right bays having French doors. The left openings have stone lintels with keyblocks, while the right have wooden lintels. There are two hipped dormers at the eaves level. The right end of the east wing has a canted projection with sashes, including a four-pane sash on the first floor and plate-glazed windows on the ground floor. There is another extension in the rear angle with a four-pane sash in a moulded stone architrave.
Inside, there is a notable 18th-century staircase with turned balusters, a slender moulded handrail, and a closed string. The northeast room features a stone bolection fireplace. Kilmore House served as the vicarage for the Aston portion of the parish.
