Description

Home Farm, part of Innes House, was built in 1843 and features an idiosyncratic neo-classical design. The structure is made of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and consists of a two-storey steading arranged around a courtyard.

The south front has 11 bays, with gabled ends that project forward and contain windows set in giant arched recesses. The central section is also advanced and features a block pediment, with a tall round-arched entrance flanked by anta pilasters. The three bays on either side of the entrance have segmental arched openings for cartsheds on the west side, while recesses on the right contain windows. The second and tenth bays are narrow and slightly advanced under the main eaves, showcasing pilastered openings on the ground floor. There is a band course at the first floor level, except for the central and end bays, and the first floor has blind walling except at the end bays. The roof is slated.

Inside, there is a large opening in the eastmost bay, which leads to a later covered cattle court within the square courtyard. Additionally, there is an octagonal horse-engine house to the east, constructed of rubble with segmentally arched openings and a slated roof.
