Redside Steading

Redside Steading is a steading built in 1849, which adjoins earlier buildings to create an enclosed steading. It features random purple rubble with dressed ashlar details. The roofs of the earlier structures are covered with pantiles, while the buildings from 1849 have grey slate roofs.

On the south range, there is a wide arched pend set in an advanced ashlar gable at the center, dated 1849. The stable ranges on either side have blank walls, with a window on the outer right and a doorway on the outer left. The end bays of the gable are advanced and have single windows, along with louvred ventilators.

The east range includes a cartshed with a hayloft above at the center. It has cast-iron columns supporting a timber lintel in the cart arcade. There is a doorway to the barn on the left, which features a stone stair, and irregular openings to the barn, including a hayloft door. To the right, there is a pantiled range with an advanced gabled outer bay that has a machinery doorway.

The west range contains an off-centre piend roofed engine house to the right, which has a doorway on its right return, along with a gabled outbuilding adjoining to the west. There is a coped pedestal of a former stalk at the northwest angle. The mid-19th century stable is retained in a simple form. The south range is flagged, with some cobbled areas and original troughs. There are four cattle courts divided by pantiled byres to the east and west.
