Cottage And Outbuildings, Currie Mains

Currie Mains is a late 18th century farmhouse with flanking wings and associated outbuildings and a ruined cottage situated to the rear. The farmhouse is rectangular in plan, consisting of two storeys and three bays, and is harled with dressings of droved red sandstone. The symmetrical northwest (principal) elevation features a central doorway at ground level with a glazed timber door and four-pane fanlight, with windows to the flanking bays. Regular fenestration is present on the first floor. A recessed wing with a pantiled roof extends to the outer left, open to the rear and forming a barn. A wing of random rubble with a red tiled replacement roof and glazed timber door is recessed to the outer right.

The southwest elevation displays single windows at ground and first floors, set off-centre to the left. The northeast elevation has a replacement window with a built-up cement surround, a small single-pane window recessed in the wall, and a single window on the first floor. The southeast elevation is largely obscured by later additions, but includes a single window at first floor, a reconstructed random sandstone rubble wing with tooled dressings, glazed timber doors, a metal chimney, and a 19th century lean-to addition constructed of tooled sandstone rubble with a red slate roof. This addition incorporates four-pane windows, glazed boarded timber doors, and an outbuilding.

The majority of windows are 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is piended and covered in purple-grey slate, featuring a lead ridge, stone skews, cast-iron rainwater goods, and coped gablehead stacks with circular cans. The interior was not inspected in 1997.

A late 18th century outbuilding, with alterations of the late 20th century, is positioned adjacent to the farmhouse. It is single-storey and attic, with a rectangular plan, random rubble construction, polished dressings, and a modern pantiled roof with a tiled easing course. The southwest elevation includes chamfered doorways, boarded timber doors with glazed panels, modern windows breaking the eaves to the attic floor, and the remains of a cottage. The southeast elevation of the outbuilding is obscured by the adjacent cottage. The northeast elevation features a modern timber door, a bipartite window, modern skylights, and a connection to the wing/barn. The northwest elevation is hidden by the farmhouse.

The ruined cottage is single-storey and rectangular in plan, with the roof removed; it originally had a pantiled roof. The southeast elevation incorporates a boarded timber door and a small vertical opening. The northeast elevation features a small vertical opening and a coped bellcote at the gable apex. The northwest elevation has a central window opening, a blocked window opening, and a small vertical opening. The southwest elevation is blank and includes a bricked-up opening.

Random rubble boundary walls with rubble coping enclose the property.
