Midinny

Midinny is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 17th century, with additions likely from the 18th century and alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed of painted stone rubble and features a slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends. There are gable end stacks, including a rendered shaft on the left and a large external stack with a painted rubble shaft on the right. Some parts of the building are partly rendered.

The layout consists of a two-room plan with a central entrance, a hall/kitchen on the right, and a parlour on the left. An unheated single-storey outshut was added to the right end as a dairy in the 18th century. In the 20th century, a two-storey addition was constructed at the left end, connected by a linking block that serves as the entrance and stair hall between the original house and the new addition.

The exterior is two storeys high and nearly symmetrical, featuring a two-window front. The first floor has two 20th-century two-light, two-pane casements. The ground floor includes a central 20th-century half-glazed door with a gabled hood, a three-light, three-pane casement to the right, and a two-light, two-pane casement to the left, all from the 20th century. The single-storey dairy at the right end has a hipped roof and a former doorway at the front, now with a four-pane window inserted, and a 20th-century window on the right side. There is a two-light, two-pane 20th-century casement at the first floor to the left. The left end features the 20th-century stair hall and entrance hall, along with a two-storey 20th-century addition with gable ends at the front and rear. The rear of the building is blind, rendered, and has scalloped slates on the rear slope.

Inside, the partition walls to the cross passage have been removed, creating a single room on the ground floor. The ground floor has 19th-century ceiling beams. The fireplace at the right end has granite jambs and a chamfered wooden lintel with scroll stops, and there is a bread oven to the rear left. The doorway to the dairy features a plank door with strap hinges.
