Hiltly

This is a late 17th-century house with later 18th-century additions, comprising a main house, a single-storey cottage, and an attached Z-plan steading. The house is constructed of cream sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings. Raised margins, chamfered reveals and relieving arches feature on the windows and door. Quoins are present.

The south-facing elevation of the house overlooks a courtyard. Three bays are visible, with a door flanked by a small window to the left and regular windows in the remaining bays, and a similar arrangement on the first floor. A range adjoins at right angles to the outer left. The east-facing elevation has a gablehead window. The north-facing rear elevation displays four near-symmetrical bays - a circular stair tower sits centrally with a window at ground and first floor, an arrowslit window is at ground level to the right, and a window is at the outer right with two windows above. A window is visible at ground level on the west-facing side elevation, with the gable to its left. The windows are 12-pane sash and case windows. A grey slate roof is topped by coped sandstone stacks on the gables.

The cottage, to the east of the main house, has a south-facing elevation with a door to the left and a window to the right. The north-facing elevation features only one window. It has 12-pane sash and case windows, a crowstepped gable with an apex stack and beak skewputts, and a grey slate roof.

The steading is built of rubble, with the west and south ranges heightened twice using coursed rubble. The west range is two storeys high. Its east-facing elevation (overlooking the courtyard) has a door to the right, an arrowslit to the left, a door to the far left and an upper door. The west elevation incorporates a loading door at first floor level above a ground floor door, with two arrowslits to the right. It has a red pantiled roof with two rooflights to the west, ashlar coped skews and three stone beeboles recessed in the adjoining southwest wall.

The south range is two storeys high. The north-facing elevation has three bays with a door in the centre flanked by windows, and a blocked window on the right at the first floor. The south-facing elevation has two narrow blocked windows at ground level. It has a corrugated iron roof with ashlar coped skews. The east range is single-storey and has a door to the right and an enlarged door to the left with brick infill above. The east elevation is gabled and includes a blocked dovecot. It has a red pantiled roof. A further range extends on a north–south axis from the east range, also single-storey with a red pantiled roof.

Gatepiers and low cream sandstone rubble enclosing walls are present, the piers being smooth rusticated and corniced.
