Description
Drimore Farmhouse is an earlier 19th century building featuring a symmetrical layout. It consists of a single storey and attic, with three bays, and includes a U-plan steading at the rear (west) and a walled garden at the front. The house is harled and has a piended central porch. There are two piended wall-head dormers that were likely added in the later 19th century, along with small-paned sash windows and end stacks. The south elevation of the gabled rear wing is treated in a similar manner.
The steading is constructed from coursed, squared rubble and consists of three rectangular-plan ranges surrounding a courtyard. The central range is slightly lower and set back on the west elevation. The courtyard features square-headed openings, while the south range includes three cart openings and a loft door. All roofs are slated.
