Walled Garden, Chesterhill House, Near Newport-On-Tay

Chesterhill House, located near Newport-On-Tay, is a small country house built around 1870, with a west wing added between 1893 and 1912. This two-storey and attic building has a rectangular plan and features a Tudor-Italianate style with castellated details, including a square-plan tower. It is situated on high ground on a sloping site and is constructed of squared and snecked ashlar with a base course and moulded margins. The house has shouldered gables topped with obelisk finials and moulded ridge skews, along with pitched-roof dormers.

The main entrance is on the south side, leading up steps to a basket-arch recessed porch that has a studded timber door and a decorative fanlight. The door is flanked by engaged columns with finial caps and a moulded crest. To the right of the entrance is a bowed window with a castellated parapet, and there is a projecting tripartite window on the ground floor of the east elevation. The west wing, added around 1890, features whinstone rubble with dressed quoins and a quadripartite window on the first floor, topped by an oculus.

The house has multi-horizontal pane glazing in its timber sash and case windows, a slate roof, and cast iron rainwater goods, with moulded coped stacks that have octagonal clay cans.

The property also includes a large oval walled garden to the northwest of the house, dating from the early 19th century. This garden is constructed of whinstone rubble with squared dressed coping stones. The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 2013.
