Description
Kilmux Farmsteading is a double U-plan farmstead built in 1833, featuring a central cattle court that is now covered. The structure is made of squared whinstone and snecked rubble, accented with contrasting raised ashlar quoins, and includes base and eaves courses. It has a 6-bay cart arch range.
The outer U has a variety of largely unaltered openings on each side. The southeast (principal) elevation of the eastern range has a piended roof with bipartite windows on each floor, with the first-floor window breaking the eaves into a dormerhead. The southwest (courtyard) elevation of the eastern range features six segmentally-arched cart bays supported by ashlar piers, with stop-chamfered arrises, pulvinated impost blocks, and continuous voussoired arches. There is a stone forestair to the right of center, leading to dwellings beyond.
The western range's southeast (principal) elevation has a window at the center on the ground floor and a three-tiered dovecot opening above. The inner U also displays a variety of largely unaltered openings on each elevation. The southeast (principal) elevations of each arm have a door at the center on the ground floor, flanked by windows, and three square windows on the first floor. There is a screen wall at the center with two sets of square-section coped gatepiers, which have been raised in stone to form an M-gable covering the cattle courts.
