Description

East Fortune Farm is a large, 1882 quadrangular farm steading comprising cartshed, granaries, cattle courts, pigsty, threshing mill, and stables, replacing an earlier 18th-century steading located to the northeast of East Fortune House. The steading is constructed from random rubble with yellow stugged ashlar dressings and exhibits unusually grand architectural details. The inner ranges are characterised by rounded corners, corbelled to square below the skewputts.

The north range is a ten-bay cartshed and granary, featuring eleven segmental cart-arches with rounded arrises. A central arch is narrower, providing access to stairs leading to the granary above, with chamfered arrises. Ten square windows are positioned above the cartshed, also with chamfered arrises. Stables flank the cartshed and retain their original stalls.

A short east range originally housed turnip sheds. A pigsty, formerly located to the south, has been removed, leaving two segmental arches below the eaves with rounded voussoirs.

The south range incorporates the base of the threshing mill chimney and an adjoining granary, now roofless. A further granary with a loft is situated to the east.

The west range encloses a courtyard with a double range of turnip sheds. Four windows break the eaves within slated gabled dormerheads. The inner range has a piend roof, and the sheds have tall sliding doors. Four cattle courts are located to the east, also within the courtyard. They have piended, cantilevered roofs supported by single iron columns. Ashlar coped gatepiers, rounded and splayed to square, survive to the northwest court.

The building is notable for its open spacing and largely intact condition. The threshing mill and nearby sheds suffered fire damage during the First World War, resulting in the demolition of the chimney. The steading and farmhouse are now in separate ownership. Grey slates and ashlar coped skews are present, the latter featuring bracketted skewputts.
