Description
Gardener's Cottage at Aberlour Home Farm is a late 19th century building that may include parts from an earlier structure. It consists of two paired cottages facing east and west, each with two stories and three bays, and a wider house to the north. The exterior features rubble stonework with tooled and polished ashlar dressings and margins.
The west elevation has paired doorways near the center, which are topped by a continuous corniced inscribed lintel. There are flanking windows on the ground floor and a single window on the first floor. The east elevation has regular three-bay openings, with each dwelling having a central door (which is blocked and serves as a window in the larger house) and three narrow windows on the first floor.
The building has crowstepped gables, coped end stacks, and a slate roof. There is a single-storey, two-bay addition at the northwest, along with a modern lean-to addition at the south gable.
