Description
This is a farmhouse, likely designed around 1875 by architects A & W Reid. It is a two-story, three-bay building constructed of grey rubble with contrasting, carefully finished red ashlar dressings. The symmetrical southwestern front features a central, rounded entrance flanked by canted bay windows. First-floor windows extend through the wallhead, topped by simple gables with cast iron finials. Similar first-floor windows are present in the east and west return gables, and to the rear wing, which also features a projecting porch entrance. The windows have two and four panes of glass. The house has paired, coped chimneys and a piended platform slate roof, incorporating solar heating panels to the front.
The farmhouse occupies a raised site overlooking the steading and dairy, and the valley below toward the park and ruins of Guisachan House. The farmhouse, steading, and dairy were not depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1872. A & W Reid designed most of the other buildings on the estate between 1855 and 1875; plans survive for all buildings except the farmhouse and the dairy.
