Description
Huntlaw is an earlier 19th century steading that has undergone later 19th century additions and alterations. Originally designed in a quadrangular layout, it features rubble sandstone construction with some harl pointing and droved dressings. The roof is covered with red pantiles and has terracotta ventilation pipes along the ridges.
The eastern range consists of a long gabled block, with the roadside elevation raised. It includes a central doorway, a machinery door to the outer left, and an additional door on the northern return elevation. To the right of the center, there is a raised loading bay or mounting block. The western elevation has a stable door, a machinery door, and several windows.
The western range contains an engine house and a stalk. It features a two-storey granary that projects at the center, with a gabled western end and a single-storey T-plan engine house on the southern return. A square-section, tapering red brick stalk is located at the re-entrant angle, topped with a cornice and neck. There is a bothy to the north of this range, and evidence of a former southern range can also be seen.
To the north, there is a quadrangular cattle court set within the original main quadrangle. This court has a blank elevation to the northern range, with feeding doors on the eastern, western, and southern sides. The eastern side features a central doorway and a wide opening at the southern center. Lean-to shelters in the court are supported by timber and cast-iron columns, with timber troughs present. Additionally, there is a six-bay cartshed with piend roofs located independently to the south, featuring cart bays on the eastern side facing the roadside, constructed with cast-iron elements.
