Balass Farmhouse And Steading

Balass Farmhouse and Steading is an earlier 19th-century building featuring a two-storey, three-bay farmhouse. It is constructed of droved ashlar with polished dressings and rusticated quoins. The central entrance has a panelled door with cavetto reveals and a fanlight, framed by a columned doorpiece. The windows are 12-pane sashes, and there is a cill course at the first floor level. The farmhouse has a narrow eaves band and shouldered, corniced end stacks on shaped bases. The roof is piended and has a platform slate covering.

To the north, there is a single-storey, three-bay wing that forms a T-plan with the main farmhouse. The courtyard steading is also single-storey and includes lofts to the north. Most of the steading is built from rubble, while the taller central and outer bays of the symmetrical west elevation are made of droved ashlar. The central bay features a round-arched pend below a square loft opening and a segmental pediment. The left bay has a large rectangular opening that has been altered, and the roofs of the steading are made of slate and asbestos.
