Description
Castlehill is a house dating from around 1800, featuring two storeys and three bays, along with a basement. The exterior is finished in painted, droved ashlar with margins and rusticated quoins. On the north elevation, there are steps leading up to a central porch supported by Roman Doric columns, which houses a panelled door with a decorative fanlight above. The windows are 12-pane sashes, and the building includes a base course, an eaves and lintel band, a cornice, straight skews, and end stacks, all topped with a slate roof.
A central stair turret on the north wall has a curved roof. The west gable connects to a long two-storey range, likely a former house built in the second half of the 18th century. This range is harled with altered openings, blocked eaves at the north end, curved skewputts, and two 12-pane sashes on the north gable. It also features two modern garage doors facing east, brick end stacks, and a slate roof.
To the south, a garden wall extends, and at the roadside, there are two circular painted ashlar gatepiers that are corniced and topped with domed caps.
