Buchan

Buchan is a former farmhouse dating from around 1851, designed in a simple Baronial style. It is a single-storey building with an attic and features an asymmetric Greek cross-plan layout, including a lower wing to the east and a later outbuilding attached to the east. The structure is built from coursed bull-faced granite with some pinning and has polished granite dressings. It includes raised chamfered margins, a base course, and an eaves cornice, along with miniature circular pepperpot turrets that have conical roofs at the ends of the main lodge.

On the north elevation, there is an L-plan to the right, featuring a two-stage circular entrance tower in the re-entrant angle. This includes a boarded door and a narrow window to the right, with a cill course at the first floor that aligns with the eaves course of the jambs. There is a window at the first floor and an eaves cornice leading to the conical roof with a leaded apex. The gabled jamb has a window at the ground floor and in the gablehead. To the left, the re-entrant angle is clasped by a lean-to extension of a slightly lower wing, which has a low swept roof, a window, and flanking doors, along with a piended dormer window to the left. The lower outbuilding is recessed to the outer left.

The west elevation features a gabled jamb with a window at the ground floor and in the gablehead. The south elevation has a window to the left, with a slightly advanced gabled jamb to the right that includes a window at the ground floor and in the gablehead, as well as a window on the right return. There is a window in a recessed bay to the right, and the lower wing is slightly recessed to the right with a window. The lower outbuilding is recessed to the outer right.

The east elevation shows the lower wing that is adjoined, along with a further lower outbuilding. This section includes a window and flanking doors to the north, a door to the left leading east, and a door to the south.

The ground floor windows were boarded up in 1990, while the gablehead and dormer window to the north feature diamond-pattern astragalled two-light glazing. The gableheads to the west and south have four-pane glazing, and the tower has two-pane glazing. The building has coped skews and corniced dies at the gablehead apexes of the main lodge, which are truncated to the south. There is a tall corniced ridge stack to the west of centre, angled diagonally to the north and south, with a corniced band, and a tall corniced gablehead stack with a corniced band on the eastern wing. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there are octagonal cans. The property is enclosed by low granite coped rubble walls and squat rubble piers topped with granite conical caps, along with a cabled granite outbuilding to the northeast.
