Description
Chanlockfoot is a farmhouse dating from around 1830, likely designed by architect Walter Newall. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure with a detached courtyard steading located at the rear (west). The building is constructed from whin rubble, accented with contrasting ashlar dressings, and features a roof made of graded slates.
The east elevation of the house includes a round-headed central doorway, which is set behind a corniced plain doorpiece and features a panelled door with a fanlight above. The windows are sash style, with bracketted cornices; the ground floor has bipartite windows with lying-pane glazing, while the first floor has single windows with plate glass. The house has corniced end stacks and a piended roof, along with a low rear wing.
The steading consists of four ranges built around a cobbled quadrangular courtyard. It includes a tall two-storey barn on the west side, which has a three-bay stable, a cartshed, and a winnowing doorway. The barn features boarded and glazed loft openings, while the other ranges are single storey. There is a detached south range with a loft at the west, a forestair on the south wall, and doors in both gables. The other ranges have louvered or axial roof ventilators. A rubble-walled central midden is present, along with well-constructed stone dykes that connect to the steading.
