Steading With Dovecot, Redcoll

This building is a quadrangular steading dating from around 1824, featuring a classical northwest entrance range that includes a two-storey dovecot, two gateways, and single-storey gable ends with arcading. It is constructed from random whinstone rubble, accented with contrasting droved sandstone ashlar dressings, a base course, an impost course, and pedimented end elevations.

The dovecot is centrally located and has a blind arched panel at the ground level, with a blind rectangular panel above it. There are eight flight holes with a rat course situated above. The dovecot is topped with a low pyramidal roof that has overhanging bracketed eaves. The walls flanking the dovecot are blank, and the roof remains on the range to the left. Square sandstone ashlar gatepiers are positioned next to the gable ends, which feature a two-arch blind arcade and a later doorway to the east.

Behind the steading is a courtyard that includes cattle courts, although these have been significantly altered over time.
