South Ballo

South Ballo is an early 19th century building that incorporates a fragment of a later 18th century mansion, with a late 20th century addition for cattle. It features a single and two-storey L-plan threshing barn range, situated on sloping ground, while other parts of the steading have been demolished. The structure is built of rubble masonry and includes re-used buckle-type and rusticated quoins, topped with a slate roof.

On the west elevation, there is a large opening in the center, a window to the left, and a door to the far left. To the right, the fragment of the mansion is visible, which has two blocked symmetrical doors with buckle-type quoin architraves, a lintel course, and two inverted keystones above. There is also a later door to the far right, with buckle-type quoins at the outer left and right angles, and five rooflights.

The south elevation shows the mansion fragment, which is obscured by a modern timber cattle court. It has three doors on the ground floor, with remains of fluted architraves, and a string course at the first-floor level. There are two asymmetrical windows on the first floor, and a stone forestair leading to ground level at the far left. The right angle features rusticated quoins and a projecting millstone at the base, with a piended roof and two rooflights.

The east elevation has a blank gable that advances to the left, representing the mansion fragment, with a bay adjoining to the right that has a large opening and a cat-slide roof. There is a long blank bay recessed to the far right, with eight rooflights.

On the north gable, there is an opening in the center at ground level and a large opening at the upper level.

Inside, most of the partitions and floors have been removed, revealing three barrel-vaulted chambers accessed from the south elevation.

Additionally, there are gatepiers and adjoining walls at the farmhouse, which consist of two rough-hewn ashlar gatepiers featuring various mask-moulded stones. The adjoining rubble walls include several moulded stones, such as a Corinthian capital and a sun motif, along with various animal and human effigy stones.
