Main Range, Steading, Coldstone Manse

The Main Range and steading form part of the former Coldstone Manse, dating to 1783, with a porch added in 1826. The house is a two-storey, three-bay, partial double-pile, M-gabled building, originally known as Kirklands of Coldstone. It is constructed of harled granite with regular fenestration.

The south elevation, the principal facade, presents a three-bay design with regular window placement. A prominent, shouldered, gabled porch is centrally positioned, featuring a timber panelled door and a letterbox fanlight above. Roof dormers with piended roofs project from the attic level.

The north elevation displays an advanced gabled bay to the centre left, returning to the left and featuring a cheese press built into the wall, flush with the return of the west elevation. An M-gable is located to the right. The east side elevation shows a two-bay gable and a single-storey timber lean-to outhouse. The west side elevation has a four-bay M-gable.

Throughout the building, there are four-pane, sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slates and lead flashing, with scrolled skewputts, coped skews and gable stacks. The interior was not inspected in 2002.

The steading is a single-storey, seven-bay, E-plan, gabled structure with predominantly regular fenestration, including numerous cartshed openings. It is constructed of squared granite courses with grey slates, lead flashing, and coped skews. A semicircular walled garden, with a coped rubble wall, is located to the rear of the steading.

This house exemplifies a typical late 18th-century improvement era design, characterized by regularity, symmetry, and mathematical proportion. The cheese press built into the rear wall and the walled garden and steading are particularly noteworthy features.
