Steading, Little Duchrae

The Steading at Little Duchrae is an early 19th-century single-storey cottage that was the birthplace of S R Crockett, a local historian and writer. The building has been raised in brick to two storeys and features a pair of gabled dormers added in the later 20th century. The modern harled frontage contrasts with the rubble ground floor and brick first floor.

A central gabled painted brick porch is flanked by sash windows with a 4-pane glazing pattern. The roof is slate with end skews and end coped stacks. The rear elevation includes modern plate glass windows and flat bituminous-felt roofed dormers. There is a single-storey lean-to rubble offshoot on the right and an adjoining single-storey rubble-built byre range. The right side features a blocked cart arch, two doors, two windows, and one slit ventilator, all under slate roofs with end skews.

Additionally, there is a further detached single-storey range at right angles to the south, and a former mill building on the left side, which is taller than the byre and has a single cart arch and door. The foundations of a horsemill are visible to the south of the mill. The roofs are slate with end skews and a sandstone ridge.
