Neilshill House

Neilshill House is a highly individual two-storey Italianate villa, likely built in the late 19th century. It features broad eaves and a "campanile" on the west side that rises an additional storey. The windows, which include both single and mullioned styles, have very unusual Moorish arched heads. A rear wing, added around 1930, replicates the original detailing. The exterior is constructed from snecked bull-faced red ashlar, with some windows adorned with decorative iron balconies. The glazing is T-shaped and includes casements, while the rooflines are asymmetrical with shallow pitches covered in slate. The campanile is rectangular in shape, and the south elevation is well-composed, featuring the recessed campanile on the left in an individually roofed bay, with a slightly lower right bay.

The east-facing central entrance bay is set in a shallow-recessed panel, with a door flanked by wide pilasters and topped with a giant arched head, along with a pilastered window above that connects to the eaves.

Inside, the villa is remarkably unaltered and continues the Moorish theme with ornate ceilings, a polychrome-tiled hall floor, and a free-standing tiled and columned ornamental octagonal dummy fountain in the hall. There is also an arched chimney piece, original wall coverings, arched doorways, painted leaded glass panels, and a staircase.
