Description
Pittencrieff Farmhouse is a mid-19th century, two-storey, three-bay farmhouse constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar dressings. It features a central pilastered doorcase on the west elevation and has two first-floor windows with gabled dormer heads. The building includes end stacks and a slate roof.
The steading, which is part early and part mid-19th century, has an irregular, roughly U-shaped plan with a narrow courtyard that is two bays wide. It consists of one and two-storey structures with lofts, all built from rubble with droved ashlar dressings. A large, deep single-storey block to the south has four large square-headed openings facing the courtyard. The north block is divided into two sections: the east section is two storeys and two bays wide, while the single-storey west section features a door, a window, and three arcaded segmental-headed carriage openings to the courtyard. The roofs vary in pitch and include piended and gabled designs, with both slated and pantiled materials.
On the east elevation, there is a conical-roofed circular horsemill flanked by broad, piend-roofed blocks, with the left block being single storey and the right block having two storeys.
