Gates And Gate Piers, Kildrochat House

The gates and gate piers at Kildrochat House date back to the early 18th century but were significantly altered in the early 19th century. The structure is a two-storey and basement, seven-bay U-plan laird's house, finished with painted harl and featuring painted margins around the openings on the west elevation.

On the west elevation, there are steps with a handrail leading to the central entrance, which has a corniced doorpiece and a two-leaf replacement timber door with a fanlight above. There is a single window aligned above the entrance on the first floor, with two single windows flanking the ground floor and additional single windows on both the basement and first floor. To the outer right, there is a Diocletian window at ground level and a single window on the first floor. A slightly recessed lean-to is located to the outer left, with a single window at ground level.

The south elevation is five bays wide, arranged in a grouping of one to four. It features a tripartite French window at ground level with two-leaf doors in the central section, and a single window on the first floor to the outer right. There is a single first-floor window to the outer left of the lower four-bay range, along with single windows at both ground and first floors. A piended dormer is present in the attic of the penultimate bay to the left, with a single window at ground level in the penultimate bay to the right. There are also two windows on the first floor, which were converted from a door and window that was fronted by a timber balcony in 1998. A single window breaks the eaves to form a piended dormer in the outer right bay.

The north elevation is seven bays wide, grouped in threes and fours, with an inner courtyard dividing the two sections. It includes a single timber door and two two-leaf timber garage doors leading to piend roof garages and outhouses on the outer left. The outer right features four small single windows in a lean-to section, along with a round-arched window at the far right.

The rear elevation has single windows at both ground and first floors in the section to the outer left, and a timber door leading to adjoining piend-roofed outhouses on the outer right.

The windows throughout the building are predominantly four-, eight-, nine-, twelve-, eighteen-, twenty-four-, and multi-pane timber sash and case types. The roof is a bowed grey slate piend roof with harl apex corniced stacks and circular cans.

The interior was not seen in 1999.

The gates and gate piers consist of square-plan iron gatepiers for both vehicular and pedestrian entrances, with an iron gate for the pedestrian entrance.
