Description

Home Farm at Cullen House, dated 1816, is a large former courtyard farm steading, although the western range has been demolished. The building features rubble construction with finely tooled ashlar dressings. A segmental-headed archway is located at the center of the southern elevation, topped by a square crenellated clock tower that rises three stages above the wallhead. There is a window in the center of both the first and second stages on the southern front, with a clock face on each elevation of the upper stage. Atop the tower is a small leaded domed belfry supported by four slender columns, crowned with an apex weathervane.

On the northern elevation, a corresponding crenellated square tower rises one stage above the segmental-headed archway, which was once at the center. To the west, there is a surviving single bay of the former dwelling, and to the east, a three-bay house that was later raised to include wallhead dormers. End stacks serving these houses rise above the wallhead of the tower, and flight-holes on all faces provide access to a dovecot in the upper storey.

The inner face of the eastern range is largely occupied by an arcade of twelve basket-arched cart bays, situated below regularly spaced granary windows. Another range of four cart bays, also beneath granary windows, flanks the inner face to the east of the clock tower, which includes former stables with swept dormered loft windows. All cart arches and entrances feature finely tooled (droved) jambs.

The roofing is varied, consisting of brown Banffshire slates, grey slates, and some corrugated asbestos.
