Description
Dunsgreen Farmhouse is a farmhouse that underwent remodelling in the early to mid 19th century, originally being an earlier house. It is constructed of rendered random rubble chert and features a gable end slate roof with dressed stone gable coping. The interior has been remodelled multiple times but likely started as a traditional three-room, cross-passage plan house with a rear wing, creating an overall L-shaped layout. The main range has an axial and right-hand end stack, along with an end stack for the rear wing. The building is two storeys tall.
On the front exterior, the left-hand room, which may have been the former service end, has no windows. The other rooms were transformed in the 19th century into a roughly symmetrical two-window arrangement, featuring a central porch with Tuscan columns, pilasters, and a moulded cornice. All windows are tripartite hornless sashes with a 4:12:4 pane configuration. The rear of the house has all 20th-century casement windows, except for the stair window, which is a tall round-headed sash. The wing has a 20th-century casement window on the ground floor and an early 19th-century casement window above, complete with stanchions and saddle bars. The interior has not been inspected.
