Muir Croft

Muir Croft is a late 18th century single-storey and attic building with three bays, featuring 19th century alterations and an L-plan steading at the rear. It is constructed from coursed granite rubble with long and short dressings.

The southwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, is symmetrical and has a boarded timber door in the center of the ground floor, topped by a letterbox fanlight, with a window on each side. The attic features a 2-pane skylight in the center, flanked by canted piend-roofed dormers on either side. The southeast elevation is gabled and blank. The northeast elevation is asymmetrical, with a boarded timber door near the center to the left that includes a glazed panel, and a window to the right. The northwest elevation is also gabled and blank.

The building has 9-pane and 4-pane timber sash and case windows, a graded grey slate roof with a tiled ridge, and coped granite gablehead stacks with circular and octagonal cans. It also features cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 1999.

There are ancillary structures and a Souter's Shop located to the south of the house. The L-plan granite steading at the rear has a slate and corrugated iron roof, boarded timber doors, and skylights. Timber hay hecks are preserved in the northwest block. The Souter's Shop, built around 1897, is a rectangular-plan structure with a vertically boarded timber exterior and a granite rubble base. It features a large decorative timber-framed window set in the gabled southwest elevation, a boarded timber door with a 2-pane fanlight, and a window on the northwest elevation, with irregular fenestration on the rest of the building.
