Description
Middlebank Farmhouse, built around 1825, is a two-storey, three-bay farmhouse designed in an L-shape with a piend roof. The exterior features coursed, snecked whin rubble with raised ashlar dressings and an eaves course. The windows are made with stone mullions.
On the southeast (principal) elevation, the design is symmetrical, with a central bay that has steps leading up to a panelled timber door, a plate glass fanlight above it, and decorative scroll consoles. There are windows in the flanking bays and regular fenestration on the first floor.
The northeast elevation includes a central bay with a bipartite window on each floor, a single window on the ground left with a wallhead stack above it, an altered door to the right, and another window in a single-storey bay on the outer right.
The southwest elevation features a window to the right at ground level and a prominent wallhead stack in the centre.
The northwest (rear) elevation has a variety of elements, including a stair window in the centre and lean-to bays to the right.
The farmhouse has 8- and 12-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows, grey slate roofing, and coped ashlar stacks with cans.
An ancillary building to the northwest is a single-storey, three-bay structure with a piend roof, constructed from dressed ashlar and rubble. Its southeast elevation has a boarded timber door to the left, an off-centre window to the right, and a part-glazed timber door beyond to the right, featuring a 6-pane glazing pattern in the timber sash and case window, also with grey slates.
The boundary walls consist of coped round and square-section (modern) squared rubble gatepiers, with rubble boundary walls and ironwork gates.
