Description
Eliock House is a composite mansion with a tower that likely dates from the late 16th century. The building has an H-plan layout and features a courtyard to the west, with wings linked at the east by a crenellated low projection added around 1914. The house is mostly three storeys tall, although the north wing has been fire damaged, is now derelict, and has been partly demolished at the east end.
The inner range includes a rectangular house dated 1658, which projects from the south end of the tower house. It features a bolection-moulded doorway leading to the courtyard and a tall, central, circular stair turret that has a conical roof with a dovecot at the upper level. The east elevation has three bays, with a fourth bay that is blank due to a rebuilt wallhead stack. This elevation is harled, while the rest of the building is primarily constructed of grey or pink ashlar, polished towards the courtyard, with the south wing being droved. The windows are small-paned sashes. The tower house retains some original openings and gun ports, and both the north and south wings have narrow west gables, with the gable on the north wing heightened around 1914. The south wing is mainly from the 18th or early 19th century, but its current form may not be original. It has a six-bay long south elevation and a piended three-bay south elevation, with corniced stacks and slate roofs.
Inside the south wing, the first floor has been partly remodeled in the early 20th century in the "Adam" style, while retaining some original features. Some rooms have been narrowed to create a corridor facing the courtyard, and there are several good chimney pieces from the 18th to early 20th centuries, along with a cantilevered stone stair.
