Further to left a pair of 3-storey gabled bay windows with 3 tiers of 4-light mullion windows, either side of 4-light mullion window with hood mould to ground floor and similar 3-light window to first floor. Between these windows a stone panel carved with the Church crest of a demi-greyhound holding a shamrock with motto VIRTUTE below.

Interior has 4-centred arched stone fireplace to hall, a stone bolection-moulded fireplace to sitting room and panelled dining room. The design for Hinton House was James Morris' diploma work for the Royal Scottish Academy. The elevations and plan deposited with the Academy show a more ambitious design for the left garden side elevation. Other slight changes made in execution. Hinton House was one of the few buildings Morris designed in England. (The Builder, June 30, 1916 and November 27, 1942)
