Description
Kilcruik Cottage is a 2-storey, 3-bay house built in 1787, featuring a rectangular plan. The exterior is harled with stone margins.
On the northwest elevation, there is a deep-set doorway with an inscribed lintel reading 'CM YM 1787', leading to a panelled timber door and a plate glass fanlight above it in the center bay at ground level. To the right of the doorway is a small window, with additional windows in the flanking bays and regular window arrangement on the first floor.
The southeast elevation has its ground floor details obscured by a boundary wall, but there is a window on the outer right at the first floor and three small modern rooflights.
The windows are timber sash and case with plate glass glazing. The roof is covered with concrete pantiles, and there are ashlar stacks with cans and thackstanes, along with coped ashlar skews.
The boundary walls are flat-coped and harled.
