Description
Muirhousehead is an earlier 19th century two-storey, three-bay farmhouse that is part of a courtyard steading. The building is constructed from rubble with ashlar dressings and is whitewashed, featuring contrasting painted margins. The roofs are primarily covered with graded slates.
The house has a central gabled timber porch on the west elevation and sash windows with a 12-pane glazing pattern. It has straight skews and end stacks, with flanking full-width single-storey steading ranges. The southern range, originally piended, has been converted for domestic use, with its roof linked to a lean-to at the rear of the house.
The steading is a single-storey structure with lofts, featuring an 18th-century barn in the northern range that includes a three-bay cartshed with deep lintels and a narrow loft. There is an apsidal horsemill to the north. The southern range has a double-pile layout with piended and gabled roofs, while the wide eastern range has a tall roof and wide slapping in the northern gable.
