Hillend, Dalry

Hillend is a 2-storey Scottish Baronial country house dated 1863. It is constructed of stugged ashlar with polished margins. The east elevation features a door in a lugged architrave beneath a square panelled crest on the left. To the right, there is a round tower in the re-entrant angle, which has a tall, slender first-floor window with a hood-mould and label stops beneath a bracketed cornice, topped with a tall, conical roof covered in fish-scale slates.

To the right of the tower, there are three advanced bays, two of which have pedimented and finialled dormerheads. The left bay is further advanced and features a canted ground floor window that is corbelled to a square at the first floor, topped with a ball-finialled crowstepped gable. The advanced gable and dormerheads are inscribed with "C (?) NP" and "WP & A".

The south elevation has two gabled bays, with the right bay containing a door in an advanced, squared bay that curves to the angles of a canted first-floor window. The rear elevation also has a conical-roofed round tower in the re-entrant angle and incorporates stonework from an earlier building on the site. The house features crowstepped gables and a slate roof throughout.
