Balwearie Farmhouse

Balwearie Farmhouse is an early 19th century, two-storey, four-bay farmhouse featuring full-height bowed bays at both the front and rear. The building is constructed of rubble, harl, and cement render, with droved ashlar quoins and raised margins on the south side. It has a round-headed door and a stair window.

On the south elevation, there is a wide doorway with a panelled timber door, flanked by small-pane slips and a sunburst-astragalled fanlight in the bay to the left of the centre at ground level. The flanking bays contain windows, and there is regular fenestration on the first floor. The outer right bay has a full-height bow, with a central door and flanking windows at ground level, and three windows on the first floor. The outer left features a single-storey bay with a glazed door.

The north elevation has a blank bay to the left of centre and three advanced, piend-roofed bays in the centre. These have windows on each floor to the left and an additional window on the return to the left. The centre bay has a full-height bow with a window at ground level and three windows on the first floor, along with a round-headed stair window to the right. To the right, there is a single-storey bay with a door and a window in the re-entrant angle, and an adjoining lower bay on the outer right with a wide segmental-headed opening and two-leaf boarded timber doors.

The windows are timber sash and case with a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and the building features ashlar-coped skews and coped harled stacks, some with polygonal cans and thackstanes.

The interior was not seen in 1997. The property is enclosed by rubble boundary walls.
