Description

Balfarg is a traditional farmhouse built in the earlier to mid 19th century. It is a two-storey building with an attic and a rectangular plan, featuring three bays and an extension at the rear. The exterior is constructed from whinstone rubble, accented with contrasting droved long and shortwork quoins and an eaves course.

The south elevation is symmetrical, with a deep-set, panelled timber door at the center that has a plate glass fanlight above it. There are windows in the flanking bays and a regular arrangement of windows on the first floor.

The north elevation includes a low, pitch-roofed extension in the center, with a stair window and additional windows on the outer right and left at both floors.

On the east elevation, there are windows on the outer right and left at the ground floor, and another window on the outer left at the first floor, along with a smaller window off-center to the right at the gablehead.

The west elevation features a window to the left of center at the ground floor and a small window off-center to the left at the gablehead.

The windows are timber sash and case with a four-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are ashlar coped skews with broad, coped ashlar stacks.

Inside, there is a timber fireplace with a decorative cast iron inset that reflects the fruit design of the ceiling rose. The interior also includes plain cornicing, shutters, and a curved stone stair.

The property is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls.
