Kinkell

Kinkell is a mid-19th century farmhouse, built on the site of earlier fabric. It is a two-story building, originally with a two-bay, L-shaped plan, with a crowstepped gable. The exterior is largely constructed from squared and snecked rubble, with some random rubble infill rendered with lines, and features stugged ashlar dressings. A base course and eaves course are present. A roll-moulded, basket-arched doorway is set within a pedimented porch. Stone mullions are used for window framing.

The south elevation has two canted tripartite windows on the ground floor, with two bipartite windows on the first floor, breaking the eaves into pedimented dormerheads.

The east (entrance) elevation is a rambling three-bay design. The original gabled farmhouse portion is centrally positioned, with two windows on the ground floor and a single window above. To the left of the centre, a projecting single-story porch has a window and a finialled pediment. A two-leaf panelled timber door with a plate glass fanlight is located within, with a return window on the left; a first-floor window is situated at the outer right. To the right of the centre, a single-story, piended wing extends from the ground floor, featuring a narrow window to the left, and two first-floor windows breaking the eaves into bolection-moulded pedimented dormerheads.

The west elevation has a modern door to the left at ground floor level, above which is a window. A shouldered wallhead stack is set centrally, and a gabled bay is located to the left, with a crowstepped left-hand gable pitch, a door to the right, and a window above.

On the north elevation, an advanced bay is positioned to the left of the centre, with an ancillary building adjoining the house and a broad wallhead stack. The fenestration is asymmetrical on the return to the right, with a recessed face to the right of the centre.

The windows are timber sash and case, with glazing patterns of 4, 6, and 15 panes, and plate glass. The roof is covered in grey slates. The chimney stacks are coped with ashlar, some being shouldered, and topped with polygonal cans and thackstanes. The building has ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts, and cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers and fixings.

Internally, there is decorative plasterwork cornicing, a staircase and landings with barley-twist cast-iron balusters and a timber handrail, and classically-detailed carved timber fireplaces installed in the 1960s.

Attached to the north side of the house is a slated, piend-roofed, squared and snecked rubble ancillary building, featuring three windows and two broad sliding timber doors on its north elevation. A small, rectangular-plan rubble ancillary building with pantiles and a slate eaves easing course is also present.

The property is enclosed by semicircular-coped rubble boundary walls, with pyramidal-coped, square-section ashlar gatepiers and hooped ironwork gates.
