Description
Home Farm at Gordon Castle is a large building constructed between 1769 and 1783 by John Baxter. It features a large hollow square layout, which is now mostly covered for modern farming purposes. The eastern elevation is rendered, while the rest of the building showcases tooled ashlar stonework with tooled and polished ashlar dressings.
The main entrance is a centrally located basket-arched opening with moulded surrounds. On either side of the entrance are slightly advanced and taller two-storey, two-bay square angle blocks. The northern elevation is symmetrical with two storeys and seven bays, where the central five bays are slightly set back. This section includes round-headed windows on the ground floor and lower fenestration on the first floor. The windows are sash and case style, featuring 6- and 12-pane glazing. The wallhead is crenellated and corbelled, and the western wing has a shallow piended slate roof.
The interior has been significantly altered for modern farming use.
