Description
Kirkland House is a large two-storey farmhouse designed in the style of William Burn, dated 1852. The building features a rear service wing and exhibits Tudor architectural elements. The exterior is finished with stugged coursers and dressings, all painted.
On the west elevation, there are four symmetrical bays with mullioned windows. An advanced off-centre gabled bay includes a canted ground floor window and a gabled porch located in the re-entrant angle, which has a Tudor-arched doorway and diagonal buttresses. The outer first-floor windows are set under gabled dormer heads. The rear wing has an off-centre gable on both the north and south elevations.
The farmhouse has sash windows with either lying panes or an 8-pane glazing pattern, and features blind loops in the finialed gables. The shaped skews are swept over skewputts, and there are end and axial stacks, with a projecting chimney breast on the south gable. The projecting eaves are covered with graded slates.
