Description

Kilmaronock House is a mid-19th century villa that underwent significant alterations in the early 20th century, with the date of 1901 noted. It is a two-storey, asymmetrical, rectangular-plan Arts and Crafts style building, featuring painted render with red sandstone ashlar margins and dressings.

The south elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a hall-like plan with a three-bay block that includes an entrance tower and a central gable that is advanced. The tower is a three-stage round structure topped with a bell-cast roof. The entrance features a roll-moulded surround with a broken segmental pediment, flanked by small pyramidal finials, and includes a studded and hinged door with a narrow window to the left. Above the entrance, there is a broad casement window, and small windows are symmetrically placed directly under the eaves. The tower is complemented by a square crenellated bay at the re-entrant angle, which has a broad window at the ground floor and a narrower window on the first floor. To the left, there is a broad gabled bay with symmetrically arranged windows on both floors, while a blank bay is located to the outer left. The outer right features a full-height hall window with nine leaded panes, supported by sandstone transomed and mullioned windows, along with a six-leaded pane window on the right return and a gable with an apex stack. A gabled block that clasps the corner is recessed to the right.

The east elevation is asymmetrical with an M-gable, where the gable of the main block has a battered wallhead stack that is recessed to the outer right. The gable is advanced to the outer right, featuring a tripartite window that is symmetrically arranged at both the ground and first floors.

The north elevation, which is the rear, is also asymmetrical and includes a crow-stepped gable with a tripartite window and a single-storey lean-to scullery.

The house features 12-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with lead flashings, and coped apex stacks with red terracotta circular cans.

Additionally, the property includes narrow cast-iron gatepiers with coned caps and paddock fencing railings.
