Description

St Kildas is a house, originally a farmhouse and later divided into three cottages, dating to the late 16th and 17th centuries. It is timber-framed with colourwashed brick infill, alongside areas of rebuilding using reused dressed stone and flint. The roof is thatched to one bay and another bay of exposed frame and old plain tiles; the remainder is tiled. The building originally comprised three bays and a smoke bay, with two storeys, and a later stone bay was added to the right, connecting the house to a barn.

There are three doors reflecting its history as three cottages. The door in the left bay has been replaced with French windows, protected by a gabled bracketed hood. The third bay from the left features a 19th-century stepped gable porch with stone coping, providing entrances on both sides. An 18th-century planked door within a solid frame is located at the right end of the timber-frame section. Within the stone bay is an 18th-century stable door, alongside a single early 19th-century cast iron casement. Two similar 2-light casements are present in the other bays of the stone section, which features a string course. Above the porch sits a 3-light 18th-century casement, while the other bays feature three early 19th-century 2-light cast iron casements, and a small 2-light casement above the porch. The tiled roof is half-hipped to the left. The thatched roof has a decorated ridge. A large stack is situated above the smoke bay at the right end of the tiled roof, and an external stack is located at the left end.
