Description
Kilmux Farmhouse, built around 1830, is a two-storey, three-bay traditional farmhouse with a single-storey projection at the rear. It is constructed from whinstone rubble and features unusually narrow ashlar quoins and dressing details, along with a deep base course on the southeast side.
The southeast elevation is symmetrical, showcasing a nine-panelled timber door with a two-pane fanlight and a relieving arch at the center on the ground floor. There are windows in the flanking bays and regular fenestration close to the eaves on the first floor. Evidence suggests there was a former gabled porch.
On the southwest elevation, there is a window off-centre to the left on each floor and a broad gablehead stack. The northeast elevation features a window to the outer right on the ground floor and two windows, also to the right, on the first floor, along with a broad gablehead stack. The northwest elevation has a bay to the right of center with a piend-roofed projection that includes two doors on the return to the right and a window on the return to the left. There is a small bipartite window off-centre to the left on the ground floor and another window in the center above.
The farmhouse has timber sash and case windows with a 10-pane glazing pattern, grey slate roofing, and coped ashlar stacks with a full complement of cans, as well as ashlar-coped skews. The property is enclosed by low semicircular-coped rubble boundary walls.
