Description
Barkbeth Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1700, featuring painted roughcast walls and a graduated greenslate roof with roughcast chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and has four bays. There is a plank door located within a gabled porch. The windows display irregular fenestration, consisting of sash windows and casements, some of which have glazing bars. The three smaller windows are likely in their original openings, while the others have been enlarged in 19th-century surrounds.
