Description
Closeburn Mains is a building likely constructed around 1780, contemporary with Closeburn Hall. The stables are now used as a farm steading and consist of four blocks, mostly harled with painted margins, arranged around a quadrangular courtyard. The layout features an asymmetrical T-plan range linked to the rear (east) with a second courtyard that is open to the north but has been largely filled by a haybarn. The structure is two storeys with lofts, and the openings are mostly square-headed, with some segmental-headed.
The west elevation was originally symmetrical, featuring seven bays with a pedimented inner bay that has a segmental-arched pend, similar to the blocked cart-arches in the outer bays, and an oculus in the tympanum. There are also a pair of large square-headed cart arches on either side, with windows now inserted, and a single window on the first floor/loft. The south return elevation has irregularly placed openings, including cottage doors and corniced stacks.
The east range includes a cartshed with a series of square-headed openings on the north and south elevations, most of which are blocked and partly obscured at the south by a ramp. A piend-roofed dovecot rises above the main roof level at the east. The roofs are mostly slated and sweep down over lean-tos at either end of the east elevation.
