Kyllachy House

Kyllachy House, dated 1886 and incorporating an earlier core, is a large, two-storey house with an attic, featuring a gabled design. It has a northeast entrance front and a long southeast garden elevation. The building showcases baronial details, with a harled exterior and extensive tooled ashlar dressings and margins.

The entrance is located to the right of an irregular four-bay gabled elevation, which is set in tooled ashlar walling and includes a Jacobean style pedimented doorpiece. To the left, there is a transomed and mullioned ground floor window that features a shaped and stepped panel displaying the Mackintosh arms. A corbelled angle stair turret rises from the first floor, culminating in a bellcast conical roof with a gabletted dormer and an apex finial.

The principal public room is located in the raised ground floor of the eastern gable wing and is illuminated by mullioned and transomed oriel windows. The building has pedimented gabled dormers that project from the north and east wallheads, with varied glazing and extensive detailing on all window architraves. A garage and stable wing extends to the south, featuring an east-facing gable pierced by a pair of oculi and a glazed ridge cupola topped with a leaded ogee roof and a dated weathervane from 1886. There are extensive rear service extensions, crowsteps, coped end and ridge stacks, and slate roofs.

In front of the east elevation, there is a rubble-walled garden terrace with an ashlar coping to the walling and a low balustrade leading to a flight of steps that ends with paired stone urns.
