Description

Guiltreehill is an 18th-century farmhouse with additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is a two-storey and attic building arranged in a three-bay L-plan, featuring a slightly advanced entrance bay that rises to a nepus gable. There is a steading range extending from the rear wing and a further detached steading range. The exterior is finished with harled, creamwashed masonry and painted ashlar dressings, including a boulder base course and an eaves course.

The principal elevation faces west and has regular fenestration, with a 20th-century porch at the entrance and a small round-arched window in the nepus gable. The fenestration is irregular on other sides. At the rear, there is a two-storey wing with a ladder leading to a first-floor door, and a single-storey lean-to in the re-entrant angle with a door on the side elevation and a window at the rear. Attached to the southeast wing is a single-storey steading range, and there is a detached parallel two-storey rectangular-plan steading range to the north.

The building features non-traditional uPVC windows, ashlar-coped skews, and coped ashlar gablehead stacks with thackstanes and some buff clay cans. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.
