Description

Strathmaddie Farmhouse is an earlier 19th-century, two-storey farmhouse with later additions. It features a first floor that breaks the eaves and has three bays. The building is constructed of painted rubble with granite dressings, including painted margins and angle margins. All gables are crowstepped. The farmhouse has a T-plan layout, with a jamb adjoining to the north and a later, slightly lower, two-storey gabled wing in the northwest re-entrant angle.

On the south elevation, the gabled bay is slightly advanced at the center, featuring a modern door with a plate glass fanlight and a window on the first floor. There is a blind quatrefoil in the gablehead and a modern glazed porch attached. The outer bays have regularly disposed fenestration, with taller windows at the ground floor and gabled dormerheads at the first floor.

The east elevation has a window at the ground floor and a blind window at the first floor to the left. The north elevation includes a jamb at the center and the later wing to the right, built into the slope. A window is placed between the gables at the first floor, with a door to the left, a window at the ground floor, and a dormerheaded window at the first floor at the center, returning to the east.

The west elevation has a window inserted to the right at the ground floor, with the later wing to the left featuring two windows at the ground floor and a flat dormerheaded window at the first floor. The glazing is modern. The later wing has flat coped skews and is covered with small purple-grey slates. Granite gablehead stacks are present on the east, west, and north sides, each with diagonally-placed twin shafts and no cans. The original rainwater goods are still in place.
