Description

Marywell Steading is a later 19th-century U-plan steading notable for its unusual timber construction. It features a concrete base, with vertically boarded walls on a timber frame and a slate roof that includes overlapping ventilation slates on the south and east pitches. The north range has a piended roof, while the gable ends are located on the south sides of the east and west ranges.

On the northeast elevation, there are two doors at the center and large entrances to the left and right, along with two rooflights. The east elevation has two cart entrances in the center, a door to the left, and three rooflights. The south elevation features a recessed bay at the center with a swept roof over feeding troughs and a large triangular rooflight. There is an advanced gable to the left with openings on the ground and first floor, and a lower gable to the right that includes a door. The west elevation has a door and window to the right, with a blank bay slightly advanced to the left.

Inside, the layout appears to be little altered, with timber and concrete trevises and hecks. There is also a rectangular-plan outbuilding to the north, constructed with a concrete frame and boarded and concrete walls, topped with an open slate roof and a large corrugated metal roof lean-to to the west.
