Description
Hapland is a single-storey and attic, three-bay farmhouse, likely designed by architect Walter Newall, built around 1830. It is located at the west end of a courtyard steading, which was constructed in 1830 and 1831. The building is made of rubble with ashlar dressings, mostly whitewashed, and has a roof covered with graded slates.
The house features raised attic bipartites added in the later 19th century, with recessed asymmetrical wings and a central porch on the west elevation. The attic windows break through the eaves and have gabled dormer heads. The sash windows have 12-pane glazing, and there are saw-toothed skews and corniced end stacks.
The steading includes a tall south range with a barn and a cartshed facing the courtyard, as well as a tall barn door. There is a shallow return to the south from the west end and an apsidal horsemill at the east end of the south wall. The north range has six doors leading to the courtyard and axial roof ventilators, while the east range features a series of roof lights. The courtyard has a central rubble-walled midden and is cobbled.
