11 The Maltings, Auchtertool

11 The Maltings in Auchtertool is a former porter's lodge and office, converted into a house, dating from the later 19th century. It is a single-storey building with a basement, situated on ground that slopes to the north. The structure features a polychrome design, combining red brick with contrasting yellow dressings, and has dry-dash on the eastern side. The openings are segmental-headed with roll-moulded arrises.

On the southern entrance elevation, there is a tall gabled porch that projects and breaks the eaves, positioned to the left of the center. This porch has a round-headed doorway with a modern six-panelled timber door and a semicircular fanlight above, along with a clock in the tympanum. To the right of the center is a broad finialled bay with three windows, the central one being slightly larger. There is a low flat-roofed extension in the re-entrant angle to the left, featuring a window on its return side.

The western elevation showcases a semi-octagonal finialled bay with windows facing southwest and west, along with a stepped chimney breast that breaks the eaves to the northwest.

On the northern elevation, which faces the main street, there is a slightly advanced broad gabled bay to the left of center. This bay has two small openings at the raised basement and a tripartite window above. To the right, there is a blank basement wall with a single window above it, and boundary walls on both the outer right and left.

The eastern elevation includes a window in the bay to the left of center, with a full-height chimney breast that breaks the eaves into a wallhead stack on the right side.

The building features modern uPVC glazing that mimics a multi-pane top hopper effect, red fishscale tiles, and corbelled and coped brick stacks. The roof has red fireclay hooped ridging and finials.

Inside, the principal room to the north has a coomb ceiling adorned with elaborate strapwork detail.

The boundary walls consist of coped red brick with contrasting dressings and inset decorative railings, along with semicircular-coped rubble walls. The western boundary features flat-coped, painted dressed ashlar gatepiers that are square in section, leading to decorative cast-iron gates, one of which contains an inset pedestrian gate.
