Aikhead Hall And Adjoining Barns

Aikhead Hall and the adjoining barns are a farmhouse and barns dating from the late 18th century. They are constructed from hammer-dressed red sandstone, featuring an eaves cornice and V-jointed quoins on a chamfered plinth. The building has a graduated slate roof with brick chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and has three bays, with two long low barns to the left. There are three steps leading up to a six-panel top-glazed door set in a pedimented Tuscan doorcase. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, framed in painted stone surrounds. There is a similar window in the barn closest to the house, and an outshut at the rear that includes plank doors and casement windows. To the left, there is a carriage archway leading to another clay barn. The front wall is cement rendered, and both the front and rear walls have been extensively repaired in brick.
