Castlehill

Castlehill is an early 19th century farmhouse with later 19th century additions. It is a two-storey, three-bay classical structure featuring a Doric porch. To the east, there is a two-storey, single-bay addition that extends north, along with a further outshot to the rear. The building is constructed of squared and snecked rubble, which is predominantly harled and painted, with raised margins. It includes a base course, eaves course, moulded cornice, and blocking course, all topped with piended roofs and regular fenestration.

On the south elevation, the central doorway is framed by a Doric columned porch, which has a broad entablature and shallow pediment above, flanked by shallow Doric pilasters. The ground floor features Tivoli windows, while the upper bays and the eastern addition have single windows.

The north elevation includes a single-storey, pitched-roof, pedimented outshot at the center of the original building, with a porch to the north. There is a door and window on the left return and a single window on the right return. The original house has 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, while the eastern addition has 8-pane glazing. The piended roof is covered with grey slate, and there are broad, tall, coped wallhead stacks with clay cans.

To the east of the farmhouse, there is a large, rectangular-plan walled garden enclosed by a coped rubble wall. The gatepiers to the west on Glen Road are tall, panelled ashlar with corniced domed caps, and there are smaller cushion-capped gatepiers for pedestrian entrances on either side. The boundary walls are also made of coped rubble.

Castlehill Steading, likely from the mid to late 18th century, is a single-storey, roughly L-plan range that fronts Kittochside Road. It includes a bow-ended former horsemill to the west with slit openings, a central threshing barn with a gable end facing the road, a single window, and four additional slit openings at road level, along with a linked byre extending to the east. The roofs are steeply pitched and covered with grey slate, featuring cat-slide dormer windows. The steading was converted to residential use in 1979.
