Description
Home Farm, Finzean House is a later 18th century, two-storey, nine-bay classical home farm and stables arranged around a courtyard. The building is harled with finely finished granite margins, featuring a base course, a dividing band course, an eaves course, and strip quoins.
The south elevation is symmetrical, showcasing a pedimented bay with a round-arched entrance to the courtyard. This entrance is flanked on both sides by round-arched niches at the ground floor and blind windows on the first floor, with an oculus at the center of the pediment. The ground and first floors have regular fenestration in the three flanking bays on either side, while the outer bays are slightly advanced, with eaves blocking courses that step up to the center. The broad openings feature two-leaf sliding doors with boarded round-arched tympana.
The east, north, and west elevations have irregularly placed boarded timber doors and various boarded and infilled window openings. The courtyard elevations are made of coursed granite rubble, with infilled segmental-arched openings to the west and other irregular boarded doorways, windows, and infilled openings.
The building predominantly features 12-pane and 6-pane timber windows. The south side has a modern felt piended roof, while the remainder has a lean-to corrugated roof. Cast-iron rainwater goods are present.
The interior has had the first floor removed from the south block, and the rest of the interior was not seen in 1999.
