Description

Crofthead is a detached farmhouse built in the late 18th century, featuring two stories and three bays. It is located to the southwest of a U-plan farm steading constructed around 1830, which reflects the style of Walter Newall's farms at the Drumlanrig estate and is arranged around a courtyard. The buildings are all whitewashed rubble with ashlar dressings, and the house has painted margins and a rendered west front, with roofs covered in graded slates.

The house includes a wide central porch, likely added around 1830, which has a tripartite window and a piended and platform roof. It features sash windows, mostly with a 12-pane glazing pattern, and has corniced end stacks. The south wing of the house has two bays and a lean-to that opens into the courtyard.

The steading includes a barn on the south range that originally had a two-bay cartshed, a cast-iron breast wheel, and a privy located at the southwest corner above the tail-race. The east range contains a three-bay stable, while the low byre forms the north range and retains a stone-lined central drain along with triangular stall partitions on the north side. There is also a dovecot located to the west near the main door.
