Cairniehill

Cairniehill is a mid to late 18th century, two-storey farmhouse with a farm court to the north. Although the farmhouse has been mostly altered, the polygonal horsemill and the associated threshing barn are relatively well preserved.

The farmhouse features rubble walling with squared quoins, and the window margins are mostly rendered and painted. The symmetrical three-bay south elevation has a modern central rendered porch. All windows maintain their original dimensions and are sash and case with four-pane glazing. The asymmetrical north elevation includes a low doorway to the left and three additional windows on the ground floor, all with two-pane sashes. On the first floor, there are three windows with four-pane sashes. The roof is steeply pitched, covered with good graded slates, and has coped end stacks with thackstanes, end skews, and a sandstone ridge.

The horsemill is a five-sided structure built of rubble, featuring a modern metal garage door and a facetted slate roof. It connects to a tall rubble threshing barn, which has a now-blocked cart arch to the left and a loft with slit ventilators. The south gable has some altered openings, while the north gable has largely been demolished and opens onto a modern cattle court. The interior of the barn has been gutted and is now used for storage.
