Description
Home Farm at Ballogie House is a two-storey building with a basement on the south elevation, constructed in 1832. It features a courtyard-plan layout and underwent additions and alterations by architects Walker and Beattie in the late 19th century. The exterior is made of pink coursed granite rubble with long and short dressings, and it has predominantly boarded timber openings and crowstepped gables.
The west (principal) elevation is near-symmetrical, featuring a gabled bay at the center and a segmental-arched pend leading to the courtyard on the ground floor. There is a round-arched window at the center of the first floor, a clock set in the center of the pediment, and a cast-iron birdcage bellcote with a weathervane at the apex. Flanking the central bay are blind windows below louvred openings, and there is a broad opening with a sliding door to the outer left, above which is a boarded timber gableted dormer. The attic has irregularly spaced skylights.
The south elevation is asymmetrical and consists of five bays. The ground floor has regular fenestration with four bays to the right, a window at the center, and a flanking bay to the left at the first floor. There is also a window located between the ground and first floors to the outer left, along with a variety of infilled openings. The basement features irregular door and window openings.
The east elevation is obscured by harled additions, while the north elevation is also asymmetrical, with a sliding door opening to the left and infilled openings to the right. It has two boarded timber piend-roofed dormers in the attic.
The courtyard features a cobbled floor and a segmental-arched pend flanked by sliding boarded timber doors with glazed panels. The north block has three boarded timber piend-roofed dormers breaking the eaves, along with irregularly placed boarded timber openings, infilled openings, and skylights in the remainder.
The windows are predominantly four-pane timber sash and case, along with six-pane pivoting timber windows. The building has modern asbestos roofing, a coped wallhead stack to the west with an octagonal can, and cast-iron rainwater goods.
The interior was not seen in 1999.
