Mirkbooths Farmhouse And Barn Adjoining

Mirkbooths Farmhouse and the adjoining barn date from the late 17th century. The farmhouse features dressed red sandstone walls with flush quoins and an eaves cornice. It has a graduated greenslate roof with banded red sandstone chimney stacks, one of which has been partly rebuilt in brick. The building is two storeys high and consists of four bays, with the barn located under a common roof to the right. The central entrance is a 20th-century door set within a 19th-century stone surround. The windows are 20th-century plastic casements in bolection architraves, with those on the ground floor placed under broken pediments. There is a false window to the left of the door and another above it. At the rear, there is a 19th-century doorway and windows. The barn's rear features a plank door beneath a loft doorway, both in stone surrounds. A right-angled extension in front of the barn and other additions to the left are not of interest.
