Description

The Dairy at Rosehaugh House is an early 20th-century building designed in the style of William Flockhart, showcasing English Vernacular Revival architecture. It consists of a long, low range of structures that include a two-storey cottage, byre, and barn, all connected by a timbered arcade in a balanced asymmetry, with tiled roofs.

The cottage features a near mansard bellcast roof with dormers and a central chimney. Its south elevation has an entrance porch and a square bay window, deep eaves, and is harled to cill height with bullfaced rubble footings and clasping buttresses. A side door on the east leads into the arcade, which provides access to the dairy, byre, and barn. The dairy includes a portico that straddles the arcade and has a stone-built section with a pyramidal roof, loft, and weathervane, along with a piend-roofed main block that runs north to south and features a tall chimney.

The byre is harled with masonry footings similar to those of the cottage and has a masonry door surround facing the arcade. It has a gambrel roof with louvred gables that provide access to an exceptionally tall loft and features a large segment-headed window on the front elevation. The interior is finished in white tiles and includes stalls. To the north and east, there is a low stone range with battered buttresses and a loft that has horizontal louvred openings.
