Description

Windy Bank Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the early 17th century and has undergone alterations, resulting in its current dilapidated state. The building is constructed of rubble faced with sandstone blocks, arranged in courses, and features quoins. It has a stone slate roof with gable copings, although some are missing, and there are chimneys that are now missing at the left gable and on the ridge at the junction of the second and third bays.

The farmhouse has a three-bay baffle-entry plan, with the third bay projecting. There is a later outshut at the rear of the first and second bays. The structure is two storeys high. At the junction of the second and third bays, there is a two-storey porch with a lean-to roof that extends slightly above the eaves level. The ground floor of the porch has a part-blocked doorway with a shouldered lintel, while the first floor features a small chamfered window that lacks its mullion.

To the left, at the junction of the first and second bays, there is a later single-storey porch that was once gabled but is now dilapidated. This porch is flanked by formerly-mullioned four-light windows, with the window on the right partly incorporated into a doorway. On the first floor, there is a square window and a two-light window with a flush mullion.

To the right, the front wall has collapsed, and the third bay is gutted. However, it retains a chamfered rectangular fireplace on the first floor, two-tiered doorways at the rear of the cross wall, and a small blocked three-light window with wooden diamond mullions on the first floor. The rear wall of the first bay has altered windows with very large jambs.
