Steading, Trabroun

Trabroun is a building dating from around 1830, which is the remaining western range of a once quadrangular steading. It features a central pend with a tower above that incorporates a dovecot. The structure has single-storey, three-bay ranges on either side, which end in two advanced pavilions. The materials used include roughly squared and snecked rubble, with grey sandstone ashlar for the tower and ashlar dressings, eaves course, and cornice.

The tower and dovecot have an advanced central bay that includes a depressed arched entrance pend with a boarded door. Above this is a two-stage dovecot, which has a square ashlar base and an octagonal chamber above. The chamber features blind Tudor-arched windows on each face, each with three flight holes above and a cornice. The dovecot is topped with a tall polygonal roof that has swept eaves and a finial. The single-storey, three-bay ranges on either side terminate in advanced two-bay pavilions. The right pavilion has blind windows, while the left pavilion is currently used as a cottage. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is a later rendered stack on the cottage. The building has undergone significant alterations, including modern additions at the rear.
