Description
Priestlaw Farmhouse is a late 18th century, 2-storey, 3-bay gable-ended farmhouse that was expanded in the earlier 19th century with a piend-roofed, 2-storey addition. The building is constructed from rubble whinstone with ashlar dressings.
The original house features a symmetrical 3-bay frontage, which has a late 19th century piended porch added. It has a panelled door with a small-pane fanlight. The windows in the flanking bays on both floors and the central first-floor window are grouped towards the centre. The northwest elevation has 2-bay gabled sections with windows on both floors.
The later addition is attached to the northeast of the original house, matching its width and being 2-bays deep, but it has slightly lower eaves. The rear elevation is blank, with one first-floor window and a single-storey, piend-roofed addition that features a flat-roofed modern porch. The windows vary in size, with one ground floor window on the northeast altered to a timber mullioned bipartite style. The farmhouse has 12-pane sash and case windows, slate roofs, coped skews, and gable wallhead stacks.
