West Balbarton Farmhouse With Walled Garden, Raith Estate

West Balbarton Farmhouse, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century and extended in the later 19th century, is a two-storey, three-bay farmhouse with a single-storey wing. The building is harled with stone margins and features ashlar quoin strips, along with a base course. The principal elevation includes an advanced centre bay topped with a finial, featuring bipartite windows on each floor. There is a panelled timber door with a plate glass semicircular fanlight to the outer left of the left return, and a window in the centre of the right return on each floor. The ground floor has a canted window with a single window above, and a skewputt carved with 'ML' in the outer right bay. The left bay also has a window on each floor and a skewputt carved with 'GE'. The single-storey wing to the outer left has a window in the bay to the right and a window slapping to the left.

The east elevation features a gabled design with windows in the left bay at ground level and in the right bay at the first floor. The west elevation has a piended single-storey wing projecting at ground level, with a small window to the left of centre at the first floor. The north (rear) elevation is asymmetrical, showcasing a variety of elements including a tall round stair tower in the left bay and a slated lean-to bay in the right.

The windows are timber sash and case with 12-pane and plate glass glazing patterns. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped harled gablehead stacks with thackstanes, as well as a cavetto-coped shouldered wallhead stack, some with cans. The skews are ashlar-coped and feature moulded skewputts.

Inside, the principal ground floor room boasts decorative plasterwork cornice and a black marble fireplace. There is also a timber second staircase with cast-iron balusters.

The walled garden is constructed with rubble walls and features ashlar quoins at the pedestrian entrance, which has a studded timber door.
