Description
Holm of Daltallochan is a farmhouse built in the later 18th century. It is a two-storey structure with three wide bays, constructed from painted coursed rubble with dressed margins. The central gabled porch features skewputts and Gothic-style side windows. The farmhouse has sash and case windows with 12-pane glazing, a slate roof, and substantial end stacks topped with octagonal cans. At the rear, there are two full-height projecting bays that are rendered.
Additionally, there is a sundial with a metal face mounted on a square granite pillar. A typographical error in the statutory listing address was corrected in 2023.
