Kilneiss House
Kilneiss House is a villa in the Scottish village of Moniaive in the Council Area Dumfries and Galloway . In 1986 the structure was included in the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A.
history
Kilneiss House goes back to an older, undated residential building. The late impressionist painter James Paterson settled in Moniaive in the 1880s. In 1884, Paterson's father commissioned the Scottish architect John James Burnet to transform the building into what is now Kilneiss House. It was the wedding present to James Patersons.
description
The villa is located off the main road on the western edge of Moniaive. The asymmetrically constructed Kilneiss House consists of one and two-story building sections. It is designed in the style of the Arts and Crafts movement , but also takes on motifs from the Scottish Baronial style . The façades, largely plastered with Harl , including the striking south gable, are partly designed with half-timbering . Details are set off with natural stone edging. The final roofs are covered with slate and mostly have low eaves heights. Wooden dormers emerge from time to time. On the west side, the turned posts of the open veranda support the deep-drawn roof. A keystone bears the year of construction and the initials of James Paterson and Elica Ferguson .
Numerous woodwork can be found in the interior. Below the ceiling of the L-shaped dining room on the east side runs a cornice ornamented with leaves and fruit. A wooden staircase with twisted balusters leads to the upper floor.
