Description

Killicoff is a farmhouse that was later divided into three cottages and reverted to a private house in the 20th century. It dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century and was extended in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of painted and rendered stone rubble with some cob and features a rag slate roof with gable ends. There are stone rubble rendered end stacks and rendered brick axial stacks.

The main range has a two-room and cross or through passage plan, heated by end stacks. There is a later 18th-century wing at the rear right, which has a two-room plan heated by an axial stack that backs onto the main range and by an end stack. The building was further extended with a one-room plan extension at the end of the rear wing and an outshut extension to the rear of the left-hand room of the main range in the 19th century. It was altered in the mid-20th century when it reverted to a single house.

The exterior is two storeys high and features an almost symmetrical three-window front with dressed stone segmental arches. There is a plank door in a gabled rendered 20th-century porch, flanked by two-light casements on either side and three above. The right-hand elevation faces the road and includes a small 18th-century scratch-moulded window frame on the first floor of the gable end, along with 19th and 20th-century two-light casements, two of which are in blocked door openings. The interior has not been inspected.
