Description

Gilmilnscroft House is an early 19th century remodelling of a 16th and 17th century tower house, with various 19th century additions, the most significant of which have now been demolished, along with 20th century modifications. The building has an L-plan layout and is harled, consisting of three storeys with a single-storey projecting porch in the re-entrant angle. The east elevation features regularised fenestration on the internal face of the L, near the centre is a full-height former stair turret with enlarged windows, and there is an additional turret corbelled above the ground floor at the southeast, both topped with conical roofs. The gable ends have tall stacks. On the south side, there is a three-storey projecting bay from around 1865 made of red sandstone, which includes a corbelled oriel window on the second floor. To the west, there is a two-storey canted projection with hood moulded windows in the upper storey. A low service wing extends to the southwest, and there is a reconstructed single-storey drawing-room extension on the north gable.

Inside, there is a scale and platt stair around a central wall, featuring rolled-moulded treads and a date of 1708 on the newel post. The ground floor north room has some raised and fielded panelling and a bolection moulded chimneypiece. Additionally, there is a reset door lintel dated 1682 in the third-floor west room.
