Elginhaugh Farmhouse

This is a late 18th-century farmhouse, with later alterations and additions. The main part of the house is a symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay structure, built on a raised terrace. To the right, set back, is a two-storey, three-bay kitchen addition. A row of three single-storey cottages extends to the east, alongside two similar cottages that were originally stables. A ruined mill complex stands by the riverbank to the south, with another ruined building nearby to the east.

The farmhouse is constructed of squared cream sandstone rubble, with droved ashlar margins around the openings and prominent droved quoins. The south (principal) elevation has six bays, arranged symmetrically in a group of three bays and another of three. The central bay of the left-hand group contains a doorpiece with a timber-panelled door and fanlight above. There is a window at each floor in the bays to either side. To the right, the irregular three-bay addition features windows at each floor and modern doors and windows. A gablehead stack rises above the addition.

The north (rear) elevation is irregular, with five bays arranged in groups of two and three. The right-hand group (three bays) has a stair window in the centre and windows at each floor in the outer right bay. The left-hand group (two bays) includes a window at ground level and windows at each floor in the outer left bay.

The windows are mostly 12-, 9- and 6-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered in grey slate, with ashlar coped stacks at each gabled end of the original house and to the east end of the addition. The cottages have grey slate roofs. The stables have red pantiles. Cast-iron rainwater goods are present throughout.

The cottages have three bays each, with a two-bay and a three-bay cottage (formerly stables, now used for storage) at the east end of the range. The westernmost cottage has a central boarded door flanked by two windows, with a window and stack to the gabled end. The central cottage features a boarded door flanked by two windows. The easternmost cottage has a window in the centre, flanked by two boarded doors and a small window to the right of the right-hand door. The first stable has a two-leaf boarded door flanked by two windows, and the stable at the eastern end has a window flanked by two boarded doors. The cottages have five ashlar coped stacks, fairly evenly spaced along the range.
