Description

Lindifferon Farmhouse is a two-storey building that consists of an 18th century rear section and a later 19th century front block. The south elevation is rendered and features ashlar dressings and angle margins. The front has three windows, with a central pilastered doorpiece and two outer canted bays that retain their original glazing. A cornice and blocking course run around the bays. The flanks have two windows each and are topped with swept corniced ashlar stacks. The gables of the earlier house also have two windows.

The 18th century rear house projects one bay to the east and has a gabled design with straight skews and a slated roof. There is a later single-storey piended outshot at the east gable.

At the entrance, there are two square droved ashlar gatepiers with cornices and cushion caps. The steading, mostly from the mid-19th century, includes a plain courtyard block accessed through a segmented arched pend in the west range, and five segmentally-arched cartsheds in the north range. Inside the courtyard, there are two parallel piended byres with pantiled roofs, while the other roofs are slated.
