Description
Gibliston is a 2-storey house built around 1760, featuring some alterations and a low single-storey wing added in the late 19th century that extends westward, forming part of the south side of the courtyard. The house is harled, with most margins painted. On the west elevation, there is a door on the left and three windows, primarily 12-pane sashes, on both the ground and first floors. The right window has a dated lintel that is partly obscured by the low wing. The east elevation has altered window arrangements and two gabled dormer heads. The house has crow-stepped gables, end and axial stacks, and a pantile roof with a slate easing course.
The house is positioned on the east side of a rectangular steading courtyard. The steading is mostly early 19th century and built from rubble, featuring pantile roofs. There is a variety of door and window openings facing the courtyard. The long north block includes a loft, four arcaded segmental-headed cart entrances, eight square loft openings, and a slate easing course on the roof. The block to the west may date back to the 18th century, characterized by crow-stepped gables and an altered roof line, which was extended to the south in the early 19th century with a finialled gable. The south block has four roof ridges in depth.
