Sydserf House

Sydserf House is likely a late 17th century, two-storey T-plan laird's house that was built in two nearly contemporary stages. It features an east-west wing that adjoins a north-south wing off-centre, with some later alterations. The exterior is constructed of random rubble, squared for openings with rounded arrises, and was formerly harled. The chimneyheads and skews were probably replaced in the 19th century, and the openings are irregular, with some blocked and some altered.

The east-west wing includes a doorway located in the re-entrant angle next to the north-south wing, along with a projecting chimneybreast on the west gable. There are modern farm buildings that abut the east gable and partially extend to the southeast. The roof is covered with stone slates and pantiles, featuring a slate eaves easing course.

The north-south wing has a forestair, likely from the 19th century, situated in the west re-entrant angle, leading to a blocked doorway that just breaks the eaves in a swept dormer. The east elevation has been significantly altered by the addition of a wide doorway with a timber lintel, and the roof is also covered with pantiles.

Inside, the building has been gutted, but there is evidence of former basket-arched chimneypieces.
