Description
Kirklands House, formerly Hoddom Manse, is a mid-18th century two-storey, three-bay manse, with later alterations and additions. The building is mainly rubble-built with ashlar margins, most of which are painted. The east gable and south elevation are harled. Small-paned sash windows are present throughout. Slate roofs cover the structure.
The south elevation has been altered with 19th-century openings, retaining only two ground-floor bipartites. The original first-floor windows remain in each gable, featuring chamfered margins. The moulded main cornice is likely original to the building. Skews and end stacks may be contemporary with the north-east rear wing, potentially dating back to 1795.
A north-east wing, built circa 1840 in the style of Walter Newall, projects from the east gable. This wing features a main entrance with a deeply recessed, panelled door and a small-paned fanlight, along with mullioned windows with lying-panes. A corniced end stack with coped flues is also present. A modern timber porch connects the building to low rear ranges.
A rectangular-plan barn, likely built in the second half of the 18th century, is situated to the north and is partially used as a garage. It has square-headed openings and slit ventilators. A walled garden is located to the west. A rebuilt gateway incorporates re-used early 19th century cast-iron railings.
