Pollick

Pollick is a farmhouse built around 1864, possibly incorporating earlier elements, situated on a sloping site as part of a U-shaped farmstead. The building is single storey with an attic, appearing as two storeys at the rear. It features an arched, pedimented doorpiece with nine steps leading up to the entrance, and has finialed, gabled dormers on the front. The western elevation is constructed from roughly dressed sandstone, while the other sides are made of sandstone rubble, with sandstone ashlar dressings. The house has a simple eaves course, raised quoin strips, and raised margins around the doors and windows.

The main entrance on the west elevation includes a central 20th-century timber panelled door set within a roll-moulded, depressed-arch architrave, which has a dropped keystone, moulded spandrels, and a pediment. The ground floor features corniced bipartite windows in the outer bays, and the attic has finialed, gabled dormers with bracketed cills. There is a blank gable on the north side. Adjoining the south gable is a single-storey section of the steading that has two windows on its west elevation. The east elevation, facing the courtyard, has a three-bay design with a mid to late 20th-century piend-roofed porch on the left and square windows on the first floor.

The interior was modernised from a derelict state around 1985. Non-traditional uPVC windows have replaced the original timber sash and case windows with lying-pane glazing. The building features corniced gablehead and ridge stacks with short, decorative yellow clay cans, as well as saw-tooth skews and a graded grey slate roof.

The steading ranges include a low, single-storey section to the south with a piended roof at the southwest corner and a ridge stack in the centre. This range has irregularly placed doors and windows on both elevations, with a graded grey slate roof. A slightly higher range to the east has two depressed-arch vehicle entrances on the courtyard side, one of which has been blocked to create a garage. This range also contains other door and window openings, some with original glazing, and features 20th-century additions against the east elevation, a piended roof at the southeast corner, and a gable on the north side, with concrete tiles covering the roof.
