Home Farm Steading, Elrick House

Dating from the 18th and 19th century, with some later additions, Home Farm Steading is a U-plan agricultural steading on the Elrick estate, near Newmachar.

The buildings are largely constructed in coursed and squared, harl-pointed rubble with tooled granite stonework around the openings. The east and west ranges of the steading are single-storey. The north range is slightly taller with hayloft openings at the eaves level and has large, lintelled cartshed openings. There is a house incorporated at the western end of the north range with a piended dormer window breaking the roof eaves to the left and a small square window below the eaves to the right.

Some window openings have timber sash and case frames, some with no glazing.The roofs have straight skews and are covered in a mixture of slates and corrugated asbestos roofing. There is one coped end chimneystack to the left of the former accommodation.

The steading is arranged around a courtyard. A low, stone-built wall with a central gateway divides the courtyard to the south.
