Gladsmuir Farmhouse And Steading, Gladsmuir

Gladsmuir Farmhouse and Steading is an early 19th-century building, possibly located on the site of an earlier structure. It is a two-storey, three-bay farmhouse with a first floor that breaks the eaves, flanked by outbuildings. A rubble-coped retaining wall forms a courtyard, with a cattle court adjoining to the east. The farmhouse is constructed from roughly squared and snecked stugged sandstone, featuring ashlar dressings and raised cills with relieving arches at the ground level. The central entrance has a door with a four-pane strip fanlight above it, and there are windows on either side. The first floor has three windows that break the eaves, each with ashlar slate-hung gabled dormer heads. The sash and case windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern. There are single-storey outbuildings on each side of the farmhouse, with a four-bay range to the left that includes a modern addition at right angles. The cattle court, which has a piend roof, adjoins at right angles to the right and extends eastward into the courtyard. The roof is covered with red pantiles, featuring straight skews and ashlar-coped stacks.
