Description

3 Balfarg Farm Cottages is a late 19th-century single-storey terrace of cottages arranged in an L shape, with alterations made in the 20th century. The building features droved ashlar with coursed rubble and harl on the sides and rear, along with a moulded eaves course. The doorcases are pedimented and corniced, with chamfered arrises and stone mullions.

The south elevation is symmetrical with nine bays. At the center, there is a corniced, blinded doorcase with a pediment that breaks the eaves. Flanking the doorcase are windows with bipartite designs and canopied doors, which are part-glazed boarded timber with two-leaf fanlights. The right door has a small, modern porch that disrupts the symmetry, and there is a further window in the outer bays.

On the west elevation, there is a window to the outer left of the gable, along with two windows in the recessed face of a lower T projection. The north elevation features a door in the bay to the right of center, flanked by projecting, low, pitch-roofed outhouses. There is a window to the left of the door and another outhouse in the outer left re-entrant angle.

The east elevation has eight bays, with a corniced window (which may have been a converted door) at the center, and two windows to the right. There is a corniced and pedimented doorcase in the penultimate bay to the right, with another window to the outer right. To the left of center, there is a bipartite window, and a broad gable beyond with a window to the right and a blinded opening at the center, featuring an arrowslit at the gablehead.

The north elevation includes a window to the outer right of the gable, along with two windows in the recessed face of the lower T projection. The west elevation has an outhouse to the left, a modern flat-roofed extension to the right, and a window beyond.

The cottages have timber sash and case windows with 4, 8, and 9 pane glazing patterns. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there are ashlar coped skews and coped ashlar stacks with some cans. The boundary wall is made of coped rubble.
