Description
The Steading at Pittormie, dated 1855, is an extensive agricultural complex featuring an enclosed courtyard on the west side and an additional range parallel to the east side of the courtyard, with a horsemill located to the south. The building is constructed from droved ashlar stone.
The main east front has seven bays, with the central and end bays being more prominent and wider. The center bay features a segmentally-headed pend, a datestone, and a triangular dovecot above, which has four tiers of flight holes and a depressed, pyramidal roof topped with a finial. The outer bays include segmentally-headed cart openings with loft windows above, while the inner bays are single storey. There are two additional bays to the south that return to the west.
The courtyard range has a tall, segmentally-headed pend on the north side, with single storey and loft spaces on each side. The west range contains four arcaded cart openings, and all remaining openings have square heads. The building features an eaves and lintel course, with slated roofs, some of which have been partly replaced with corrugated asbestos. The octagonal horsemill has a faceted roof.
