Description
Milton Bank is an 18th-century, long, two-storey traditional house, which has been converted into flatted dwellings, located on Main Street in Auchtertool. The building has a rectangular plan and features single-storey ancillary structures on either side. It is harled with stone margins and quoin strips.
On the north elevation facing Main Street, there is a platform-roofed porch with a cornice and blocking course at the centre bay on the ground floor, flanked by windows. The timber door is situated between windows on the left and right sides, with an additional window in the lower bay on the outer right. The first floor has five irregularly placed windows. The outer left side has a blank elevation of a pantiled ancillary, while the outer right features two doors leading to a low ancillary.
The south elevation, which is at the laigh floor, has an irregular arrangement of windows and doors, including a door to the right of centre at the laigh floor and timber doors at the centre left on the first floor, each with a short stone stair and barley twist balusters accessed from a parallel path.
The west elevation shows the lower gable of the ancillary, which includes a two-port pigeon loft and an alighting ledge in the gablehead. The windows throughout have a 4-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case. The roofs are covered with slates, while the eastern ancillary has a pantiled roof. The building features coped ashlar stacks with cans, some of which are polygonal, and ashlar-coped skews, with the eastern ancillary having a stepped stack.
Inside, the ground floor has depressed arches running north to south and includes some six-panelled timber doors.
The ancillary buildings consist of rubble byres and brick shelters supported by cast-iron columns, topped with corrugated (possibly asbestos) roofs. The property is enclosed by coped harled boundary walls.
