Maam Farmhouse, Glen Shira

Maam Farmhouse is an early 19th-century, two-storey and attic, three-bay farmhouse located near Inveraray Great Farm steading at Glen Shira. The building features a slightly advanced central bay under a cat-slide roof, with timber bracketed eaves. It is constructed from rubble, predominantly harled and painted white, and has a flat-decked piend roof. The front has a single-storey swept roof porch, while the rear includes a single-storey outshot with a pitched roof. There is also a detached, single-storey gabled outbuilding at the northern corner.

The farmhouse has predominantly 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, tall end stacks, and cast iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the principal reception room is located on the first floor. The staircase features a curving hardwood rail and thin metal banisters leading to the hall on the first floor, with ornate cast iron banisters on the further staircase that rises to the attic level. The reception room to the east has a deep moulded cornice and dado. The ground floor has been largely remodelled, with a kitchen to the west and a sitting room to the east, which includes a decorative plaster cornice, a rectangular alcove, and a press. Timber fireplaces and timber shutters are present throughout.

The outbuilding is a small detached rectangular-plan, gabled structure located at the northern angle of the house, featuring a coped stack on the west gable with clay cans and a grey slate roof. There is also a later addition of a corrugated sheet washhouse, garage, and woodstore adjoining the west gable.
