Description
Mains of Auchintoul is a later 19th century, two-storey, three-bay T-plan farmhouse located to the north of an earlier steading. The building is harled with ashlar margins.
On the east elevation, there is a central door featuring a 2-pane fanlight and a panelled door with a consoled cornice. Tall windows flank the door at ground level, while the first floor has three smaller windows that break the eaves in gabled dormer heads, each adorned with finials and bracket skewputts.
The south elevation has two closely grouped windows on each floor. At the rear, there is a single-storey service wing that adjoins at right angles, along with a modern harled addition.
The windows are sash and case style with a 4-pane glazing pattern, and one window features a timber mullion as bipartite. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and it has ashlar coped ridges, skews, and stacks.
In front of the farmhouse, there are rubble garden walls with an ashlar gate pier to the south.
