Description
Mains of Moy is a stable and carriage-house range, possibly designed by Colin Williamson of Dyke around 1780. The building features a symmetrical south-facing façade with a pinned ashlar front, rubble returns, and polished ashlar dressings.
It is two stories high and has a nine-bay south front, with wide, slightly advanced outer bays that each contain a large round-headed carriage house entrance. The central entrance leads to an inner court and is flanked by former three-bay stables. The façade includes regular loft windows.
At the center of the south front is an octagonal single-stage clock tower, which has a moulded clock face and louvred openings on alternate faces, some of which are boarded up. The eaves cornice is moulded, and the roof is an exaggerated bellcast octagonal piended slate roof topped with an apex weathervane.
The outer pediments were once decorated with flanking and apex ball finials, although only the bases survive, and some ball finials can be found lying beside the steading. The building is covered with piended slate roofs.
