Description

Kilmartin Hall is an asymmetrical neo-Tudor house built around 1860, likely incorporating a small dwelling from the late 18th century. The building is mainly two-storey with an irregular plan, constructed of grey rubble with contrasting tooled sandstone dressings. The entrance is located in the asymmetrical east front, featuring a square-headed hoodmoulded doorway beneath a crenellated parapet. To the left of the entrance is a tall transomed and mullioned window that lights the stairwell, while to the right is a ground floor four-light transomed and mullioned window.

The outer bays are defined by projecting gables, with the left gable featuring a tapering flue that rises through the center and terminates in an apex stack, decorated with a mock cruciform arrow slit and flanked by narrow hoodmoulded windows at the first floor level. The right gable is a lower two-storey symmetrical structure with two windows and decorative bargeboards, which may have been re-fenestrated from the original house.

The south front is irregular, showcasing one canted and one five-sided bay window on the ground floor, along with two large first-floor windows under a crested architrave. A long two-storey range, which includes a service wing and former stables, extends westward and is partly fronted by a modern harled, single-storey sun parlour with a flat roof.

The windows primarily feature leaded or multi-pane glazing, and the building has coped end and wallhead stacks, topped with a slate roof.

Inside, Kilmartin Hall boasts an ornate interior, with a panelled inner hall that rises through two floors, featuring a neo-Jacobean staircase with silhouette balusters leading to the first-floor landing. The panelled drawing room includes a carved Adamesque chimney piece with a marble hearth surround and a strapwork plaster ceiling. The dining room features a neo-Tudor chimney piece with a re-used panel incorporated as an overmantel. Some first-floor rooms have Adamesque plaster ceilings.

The garden is enclosed by high coped rubble walls, with a pair of simple square rubble gate piers topped with small ball finials, flanked by a short retaining wall that connects to similar terminal piers. There is an additional entrance at the northwest, featuring octagonal ashlar piers with flat ashlar octagonal caps, linked by a coped ashlar overthrow.
