Description

Edinbeg Farm is a farmhouse built in the earlier to mid 19th century, with alterations made in the later 19th century. It is a single-storey building with an attic, designed in a plain classical style, featuring a three-bay layout and a single-storey, four-bay gabled wing that is recessed to the outer left, forming an L-plan. The exterior is finished with painted harl and has painted margins and projecting cills. There are single-storey, whitewashed rubble outbuildings located to the northwest, west, and southwest, which enclose a courtyard to the southwest.

On the southeast (entrance) elevation of the farmhouse, there are steps leading to a boarded timber door that is centered at ground level, accompanied by a bipartite fanlight and flanking single windows. Above, there are three-light canted dormers aligned with the windows below. A replacement timber door is located in the bay to the outer right of the recessed wing, which also has a fanlight and single windows in the remaining bays to the left. The southwest (side) elevation features single windows in the penultimate bay to the outer right and in the bay to the outer right.

The farmhouse predominantly has 12-pane timber sash and case glazing. The roof is covered with graded grey slate, and the rainwater goods have been replaced. There are corniced apex stacks, painted on the southwest, and a single terracotta can.

The northwest range has a southeast (courtyard) elevation with a boarded timber door offset to the right of center, along with single openings in the bays to the right and an implement shed in the bays to the left. The west range has a northeast (courtyard) elevation with whitewashed, square-plan piers flanking the center. The southwest block has a southeast (rear) elevation that features a blind wall, various skylights, and graded grey slate roofs, with the northwest range having a pitched roof, the west range covered in corrugated iron, and the southwest block having a piended roof.

The boundary wall consists of a round-arched rubble coping atop a random rubble wall that encloses the garden at the front of the property.
