Description
6 Kilgraston Road is a villa built in the later 19th century, featuring a two-storey, near rectangular plan. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked cream sandstone, accented with lightly stugged ashlar dressings. It includes a base course, a dividing band course, bargeboards, overhanging timber eaves, and chamfered reveals.
The elevation facing Kilgraston Road has three bays. It features an enclosed gabled porch that projects into the boundary wall at the central bay, which includes a roll-moulded basket-arched doorway with a shouldered surround. The porch is adorned with dentilled corbels supporting a dentilled cornice, and a heraldic panel is set in the pediment, complete with gablet skewputts. The entrance has a panelled door and glazed panels on the returns with decorative friezes. The roof is finished with terracotta ridge tiles, and there is a window on the first floor. In the third bay, there is a timber bipartite oriel window on the first floor, with single lights on the returns and panelled surrounds, along with a decorative bargeboard. An advanced gabled bay is located to the outer left, with a conservatory adjoining at ground level, featuring a cipher panel set below a corbelled chimney breast.
The elevation facing Blackford Road includes a two-storey canted window that sweeps to a square at the gablehead in the outer right bay. The outer left bay has bipartite windows, and a first-floor window breaks the eaves in a gablet. The windows are plate glass sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate, featuring a timber gabletted dormer to the north and corniced gablehead stacks to the north, east, and west, along with moulded eaves guttering.
The interior was not seen in 1991.
The conservatory, which adjoins the house to the east, is made of timber and glass, featuring coloured and painted glass in the south gablehead, thistle ridging, decorative iron finials, and leaded glass over the door with a painted figure in a roundel.
The property also includes a pedimented pedestrian gateway and high coped boundary walls.
