Description
Sourlands Gate is a farmhouse dated 1737, as inscribed above the entrance. It features whitewashed rubble walls with flush quoins and is topped with a graduated greenslate roof that has banded sandstone chimney stacks, one of which has been rebuilt. The building is two storeys high and consists of five bays, with a rear extension that creates an overall L-shape. The entrance is off-centre and has a 20th-century door set within a painted stone surround, with a lintel that includes the date panel. The windows are flat stone-mullioned, with two- and three-light configurations; those on the ground floor to the right of the doorway are under a continuous dripmould. The rear extension contains sash and casement windows, also in painted stone surrounds. The left outbuildings that adjoin the farmhouse are not of interest.
