Description

Drummaird is an earlier 19th century farmhouse that incorporates some earlier fabric. It is a two-storey, three-bay building that is harled and features quoin strips and stone cills.

The south elevation is symmetrical, with a central entrance flanked by single windows and bipartite windows in the outer bays. There are three evenly spaced windows near the eaves on the first floor. To the outer right, there is a low pantiled rubble building serving as a steading.

On the north elevation, there are three irregularly placed windows at the ground floor and a lean-to porch with a door on the return to the right in the outer bay. The first floor has two windows.

The west elevation features a gabled design with a window on each floor. The windows are timber sash and case with four- and twelve-pane glazing patterns. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped harled chimney stacks with thackstanes and some cans, along with ashlar-coped skews.

The steading is U-shaped with a boundary wall to the west and two piended courtyard ranges oriented north-south. It is semi-derelict and constructed from pantiled whinstone rubble with some cherry caulking and ashlar margins. The doors are made of boarded timber. The northwest range includes stables that retain loose box divisions. There is a lintel immediately to the east of the house dated '1743', and evidence of a former horse mill can be found on the north elevation.
