Description
Craigend is an earlier 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay former farmhouse with a piend roof and single-storey projections at the rear. The building is constructed of narrow squared and coursed rubble, with random rubble on the sides and rear, and features droved ashlar quoins and raised quoin strips, as well as base and eaves courses. The southwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, is symmetrical and includes a broad, corniced, and pedimented doorcase with flanking pilasters. It has deep-set, two-leaf, part-glazed doors with a letterbox fanlight at the center, along with windows in the flanking bays and regular fenestration on the first floor.
On the northwest elevation, there is a window to the left of center on both floors, and a dominant shouldered wallhead stack at the center. The southeast elevation features a window to the right of center on both floors, as well as a single-storey office with two windows on the outer right. The northeast elevation has advanced single-storey offices with various elements in the center and left bays, a stair window at the center above, and an adjacent small window to the left, along with a shouldered wallhead stack on the outer left.
The windows are timber sash and case with a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there are cavetto coped, shouldered ashlar stacks with cans.
Inside, there is some plain cornicing on the ground floor, working shutters, and a winding staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters and a timber handrail.
The property is also accompanied by boundary walls made of coped rubble, along with coped, moulded ashlar gatepiers and cast-iron gates.
