Steading, Blinkbonny Farm

The implement shed, Blinkbonny Farm, dates to 1839. It is a two-story, three-bay, T-plan farmhouse with a double courtyard farm complex constructed of rough harled sandstone and tooled sandstone rubble.

The farmhouse has a symmetrical entrance elevation (SE). A central, projecting gabled porch is built of tooled sandstone with a fanlight above the door. Single windows flank the porch, with returns visible to the sides. Single windows are located to either side of the porch on the ground floor, and first-floor windows are centred above the ground floor windows and porch. The SW elevation was not inspected in 1999. The NW (rear) elevation features a plain gable to the rear wing, with a later rear porch addition to the right. The NE elevation has a ground and first-floor window to the right, and a two-bay wing recessed to the right, featuring two ground floor windows and a gabled dormer breaking the eaves. The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case on the ground floor, and 8-pane on the first floor. The farmhouse has a slate roof with gable apex stacks, a ridge stack to the NW wing, and stone coping to the gables. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present. The interior was not inspected in 1999.

A sandstone rubble garden wall with rough coping stones adjoins the rear W wing of the farmhouse. The entrance is marked by square sandstone piers with corniced ashlar coping stones and a replacement timber gate.

The steading includes a later cattleshed to the SE, featuring sliding doors to the gable ends, an arched opening to the NW gable, a plain elevation to the SW, and square openings with external top-hung shutters to the NE elevation. It has a recent corrugated-iron roof with vents. A stable is located to the right, with windows having openings above and sliding timber shutters below. A cartshed range is at the rear of the stables. To the right of the cartshed is a two-story granary with an arched cartshed opening below and square openings above. A threshing barn is situated at right angles to the cartshed and granary range, alongside a mounting block and a gabled opening to the NW, with an adjoining engine house to the SE. The engine house has a tall circular chimney with a large square stone base and a brick chimney constructed of alternating red and yellow brick spirals. A stack yard/cattle court is located to the E of the granary, bounded on three sides by sheds and featuring arched openings to the NW and SE. Feeding troughs are included in the eastern building, and a tall wall with gatepiers delineates the courtyard to the W. The courtyard is divided by a rubble wall. A bull-nosed corner is present on the S shed, with a shed set back to the right, featuring an arched opening and a datestone above indicating 1839. A rounded quoin marks the right gable. A second court is situated to the right, including a sheltershed to the left with two arched openings and cow sheds to the right. A later implement shed, positioned away from the main buildings, features chamfered openings, a central cast-iron column, and a recent corrugated-iron roof.

Various elements throughout the steading have timber boarded doors and shutters, slated pitched roofs, and raised skews.
