Description

Low Farm Steading in Kinlochmoidart is a later 19th century symmetrical farm building facing south. It features a wide five-bay elevation that presents itself to the road. The exterior is finished with white harled walls and tooled ashlar margins. The central entrance is tall and round-headed, with set pigeon flight holes positioned above it in the gabled centre bay. The flanking walls have paired slit vents, while the slightly advanced gabled outer bays contain round-headed tripartite windows. The upper sashes are fitted with lattice pane glazing, and the lower sections have nine panes each. The building has saddle ridge vents, slate roofs, and pottery finials.
