Description

The Steading and Cottage at Errol Park, dated 1884, is a two-storey, five-bay gabled structure featuring a 'dovecot fleche', a row of three cart arches, and a lower piended T-projection at the rear. It is constructed from stugged squared and snecked rubble with ashlar dressings, and includes voussoired, segmental-headed arches with stop-chamfered arrises.

On the south elevation, the central bay has three arches beneath a hayloft door, with a datestone in the gablehead topped by a cockerel finial. Behind this is a weathervane-finialled fleche over a small three-tier dovecot, which has flight holes and alighting ledges on the south side. The flanking bays each contain a broad door and a window at ground level, with a small dormer gablet above, aligned toward the centre. The outer bays are slightly advanced and gabled, each with a window on both floors.

The east elevation features a gabled bay with a hayloft door in the gablehead. The T-projection is set back to the right and includes a sliding door to the left, two windows in the inner bays (one of which is blocked), and two additional sliding doors to the outer right.

On the west elevation, there is a gabled bay with a hayloft door in the gablehead, and the T-projection is set back to the left.

The north elevation has two broad sliding doors toward the centre. The windows are timber top-hopper types with a six-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered in graded grey slates, with a coped ashlar stack featuring polygonal cans and a later brick stack. The eaves overhang, with plain timber bargeboarding, decorative gablehead braces, and cast-iron finials, complements the boarded timber doors. Square-section downpipes are fitted with decorative rainwater hoppers and fixings.

The Groom's Cottage is a single-storey, three-bay gabled structure with bipartite windows and a timber door.
