Ballantager Farmhouse And Steading

Ballantager Farmhouse and Steading is an early 19th-century building featuring a nearly symmetrical design of the farmhouse and steading, with the steading gables acting as wings. The structure is made of whinstone rubble, accented with contrasting droved yellow ashlar long and short dressings. The farmhouse is two stories tall and has three bays, with an original central door located behind a glazed porch. It features 12-pane sash windows, corniced end stacks, and a slate roof.

The farmhouse is connected to the steading gables by low wings, which include a blind tripartite opening on the left and a door and window on the right. The gables have round-headed openings on the ground floor, with a pend to the right, and blind semi-circular loft openings above. To the west, there is a rectangular courtyard that is single-storey with lofts, partly filled by two later sheds. The south wing of the courtyard elevation has five segmental-headed cart openings (four of which are arcaded) and a modern large rectangular opening, along with two loft doors and eight small windows above.

The north wing has been later extended, doubling its thickness, and features four cart openings on the north elevation, three of which have segmental heads, while the fourth is a later rectangular insertion. The roofs are finished with slate and pantiles.
