Tillydrine House

Tillydrine House is a later 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay house with an irregular plan and an entrance tower, featuring Italianate and domestic Gothic details. It is constructed from grey-pink Aberdeen bond granite ashlar and has overhanging eaves.

The south elevation, which serves as the entrance, has three bays and includes a recessed single-storey service wing to the west. The entrance tower is three stages high, with a depressed-arched doorway topped by a pointed arch hoodmould, a bipartite window on the second stage, a single window to the right return, and a tripartite window on the third stage. To the outer left, there is a two-storey, four-light canted window in a gabled bay. The ground floor features two bipartite windows in the outer left bay, and above, there is a gabled tripartite window that breaks the eaves.

The service wing to the west has a tripartite window with a quatrefoil oculus above in an advanced gabled central bay, an eye-catching octagonal louvered ventilator with a tapered roof, and a single-storey flat-roofed extension that clasps the chamfered angle to the outer left.

On the north elevation, there is an advanced single-storey and attic wing to the outer left, featuring a conical roof on a projecting stair tower. To the outer right, there is a later single-storey flat-roofed extension that clasps the service wing, with irregular fenestration on the main house at the centre.

The east elevation includes an advanced tripartite window with a dentilled cornice and a swept roof at ground level to the outer right, a bipartite window above on the first floor, and a single window set in the gablehead. There is a lower wing adjoining to the north.

The west elevation features an advanced service wing with irregularly disposed fenestration on the first floor behind it. The windows throughout the house are plate glass sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and has tall coped gableheads and ridge stacks.

Inside, the house has an encaustic tiled floor, architraved doorways, panelled doors, decorative plaster cornices, and a tripartite vestibule door.

To the north of the house, there are former stables with a corbelled timber-framed first floor above the coach house and stables.
