Description
Ardoch Farmhouse and Steading, built around 1830, is a courtyard steading attributed to the architect Walter Newall. The complex features a tall, detached east range that includes a mill wheel and a two-storey, three-bay farmhouse located at the south end. The buildings are primarily constructed of rubble, with contrasting pink ashlar dressings, and the south and west sides are mostly whitewashed. The roofs are covered with graded slate.
The east range of the steading contains a barn on the left, which has a high winnowing door and two tiers of slit ventilators. To the right is a two-bay cartshed with a loft above it. The wheelhouse is located on the east wall and features an iron overshot wheel, with a privy situated above the tail-race. There is also a brick lean-to on the north side. Adjoining the east gable of the house is a three-bay stable, which also has a loft. Other ranges are single-storey, with the north range displaying pink rubble coursers below the eaves and a tall modern haybarn built against the courtyard elevation. The west range has louvered roof ventilators and a detached parallel range to the west. Most openings in the buildings are either boarded or glazed.
The farmhouse features a central gabled porch on the south side, and the ground floor has bipartite windows that have been inserted. There is a narrow brick outshot leading to the courtyard.
