Farmhouse, Stellock

This is a late 18th century farmhouse with a detached steading to the southeast.

The farmhouse is a symmetrical, two-story, three-bay building with a single-story wing at the rear creating a T-shaped plan. It is constructed of rubble stone with painted margins. The central entrance is modern, and the windows are single-light, sash windows with replacement glazing. The ends have skewed gables, and the house features coped end stacks, a sandstone ridge, good graded slate roofs, and two skylights.

The steading is an L-shaped arrangement of three main buildings around a courtyard. All are constructed of rubble stone with slate roofs. The earliest building is an 18th century threshing barn, which was later converted to a straw house. A threshing back-barn was built to the northwest in the mid-19th century. A single-story byre range forms an L-shape to the south, dating from the later 19th century. The threshing back-barn is a two-story structure with a ground-floor byre and storage areas accessed from the courtyard to the south. It features a projecting, gabled cart entrance on the north wall with full-height doors. A threshing machine was formerly located at the east end and the roof was re-slated in 1993. The straw house is also two-story and has a blocked depressed arch door to the west. It retains an unusual roof structure with principal rafters, collars, and side purlins, pegged to battens. The byre range consists of single-story, loose byres. A wheel pit is located by the east elevation of the barn, but no machinery survives.
