Steading And Bothy, Nether Arniefoul

Nether Arniefoul is an early 19th-century farmhouse that stands two storeys high and features three bays, along with a single-storey wing and a compact courtyard steading that includes a bothy. The house is harled with stone margins, while the steading is constructed from rubble with some large squared rubble quoins.

The principal elevation faces southeast and is symmetrical, with a central door on the ground floor flanked by windows, and regular fenestration with eaves lintels on the first floor. The southwest elevation has a window at the outer right on the ground floor and a gablehead stack. The northwest elevation features a projecting single-storey wing that has a return to the right, which includes a door and a two-part fanlight to the left, as well as two windows to the right. The northeast elevation is blank.

The windows throughout the house are timber sash and case with a four-pane glazing pattern. There is a coped ashlar stack to the east, while the stack to the west has been rebuilt in brick.

The steading has a roof made of Angus stone slate, grey slate, and corrugated iron, and it encloses a covered courtyard. The northeast elevation of the steading has a range with an Angus stone slated roof, featuring a boarded timber door below a small opening in the right bay, and a small adjacent opening beyond that in a blocked cart arch. There is also a door to the outer right in a slightly higher piended bay with a corrugated-iron roof.

The southeast elevation has a long range with a door to the left of centre and a corrugated-iron roof, with an entrance to the inner courts in the penultimate bay to the right and another door to the left in a piended bay on the outer right. The southwest elevation consists of a four-bay range with a corrugated-iron roof, featuring a blocked door to the right of centre and a boarded timber door to the outer right, flanked by a rendered buttress; the bays to the left of centre are above. There is a slightly higher slated bay to the outer left with a sliding door. The northwest elevation has a higher piended bay to the outer left with a door at ground level and a small opening above it, along with a range to the right that has a sliding door off-centre to the left.

The cottage is a single-storey, L-plan rubble bothy with an Angus stone slated roof and coped rubble stacks. The northwest elevation features a timber door and flanking windows to the left, three full-height square-headed openings to the right, and an additional door under a slightly set-back catslide roof to the outer right.

The property is enclosed by rubble boundary walls.
