Description
Kingshill is a two-storey building featuring stucco exterior and slate hipped roofs with broadly overhanging bracketed eaves. The south-facing entrance has three windows, with 12-pane windows on the first floor. The ground floor includes a full-width verandah supported by cast iron columns, featuring a reeded doorcase with a segmental head and a traceried overlight. The modern-glazed door is flanked by marginal glazed sidelights, with French doors on either side.
The east elevation showcases a central bowed bay with two small-pane sash windows on the upper floor and two tall sash windows that extend to ground level. To the right of the bow, there is a window on each floor, while to the left, there is a ground floor window only, as the upper floor window is blocked. The west elevation has a service block at the rear, which is set forward and includes a gabled two-window section, along with an additional two-window section at a right angle.
Currently used as offices, the building retains much of its 19th-century character, including cornices, ceiling roses, doors, fireplaces, shutters, and deep skirtings. Inside, there is an elliptical lobby with a polychrome tiled floor and double-leaf doors leading to a U-plan staircase hall. The cantilever staircase is top-lit. To the right of the hall is the former dining room, which features an elliptical-headed recess and a shallow elliptical recess with shell coving. To the left of the hall is the drawing room, likely converted from two rooms in the late 19th century, which includes pink granite columns.
