Boreland Farmhouse

Boreland Farmhouse is an earlier-mid 19th century, two-storey, three-bay symmetrical house with an unusual double-bow fronted design. The house has a square ground plan and an unusual central spine wall that supports a flue. The exterior is of painted rubble, with exposed granite angle and window margins, the stonework being bull-faced at ground level and smooth above. The central doorway has smooth, cavetto reveals and a panelled door with a fanlight above. There is a single window above the door. Bowed bays flank the central bay, each containing a single window. All windows are single-light, sash and case with four-pane glazing, with the exception of one first-floor window on the front elevation and one ground-floor window at the rear, which have been replaced with uPVC. A finely dressed granite band runs above the ground floor and at the eaves. The roofs are piended and slate-covered, with a tall, wide central stack featuring nine octagonal cans. A one-and-a-half storey gabled wing is located at the rear, constructed of painted rubble with granite quoins and slate roofs, and a tall granite stack. The plan and elevation of the farmhouse are unusual for this area of Wigtownshire.
