Description
Mainsbank Farmhouse is an early 18th-century house constructed of ashlar with a tiled roof. It stands two storeys tall and features five bays, with a lower two-bay wing to the right. The central door is from the 20th century, while the sash windows are set in narrow, original openings. The steeply-pitched gabled roof has kneelers and flat coping, and there are corniced end stacks. At the rear, there is an outchut. Inside, the farmhouse contains an early 18th-century stone fireplace with a moulded inner edge and a large kitchen fireplace with an oak bressummer. The building was formerly designed with an upper cruck roof, and the stumps of this structure remain visible.
