Description
This is an earlier 19th-century single-storey, three-bay cottage that was raised to two storeys in 1889. It is accompanied by a courtyard steading to the rear.
The farmhouse is constructed of rubble stone with ashlar dressings. The south elevation features a central gabled porch, now with a door on its side. There are single four-pane sash windows in the outer bays, with hoodmoulding at ground floor level. Gable dormer heads are above the windows, featuring patterned bargeboards and spike finials. The eaves project deeply, and corniced end stacks rise from the roof, which is covered in slate.
To the rear (north) is a courtyard steading, consisting of a single-storey, L-shaped range connected to the rear wing of the farmhouse, and a detached, tall barn to the east. The barn has two segmental-arched cart openings and three square loft openings facing the courtyard, with a door at each level near the south gable. The steading is rubble-built with ashlar dressings, but the south gable of the barn was rebuilt in brick and all the buildings are painted. A cobbled courtyard is situated within the steading. The barn has a modern asbestos roof, while the remainder of the steading is roofed with graded slates. Copies of drawings from 1889 are held in the National Records of Scotland.
