Description
House: Earlier to mid 19th century restrained and simple former inn/post office formerly serving the Blair Adam Estate (now currently used as a farm house, 2004). Attention to detail of certain features raise it above the ordinary demonstrating a degree of sophistication and elegance including; symmetrical coursed ashlar principal elevation, picturesque timber Doric columned porch, segmentally headed openings to principal windows and bulls eye windows to gables. Single storey and attic; possibly originally T-plan, however gabled wings to far NW probably added later creating an overall rectangular-plan.
Side and rear elevations finished with snecked rubble, dressed openings and quoins to all. Render below eaves of principal elevation suggesting perhaps house once framed by overhanging eaves which were subsequently cut down. Pitched slate roofs with cast iron rainwater goods. Squat polygonal ashlar corniced stacks with circular cans.
Steading: U-plan steading to N with cartshed to NE, adjoined wall stretching up W to roadside; snecked rubble with dressed openings and quoins. 2 openings to cart shed, that to right set close to advanced left wing of main block. Later brick and stone forestairs blocking cart arch to inner face of left gable. Various openings to inner face of main block (some latterly inserted), cart arch to far right partly obscured by advanced right wing; bulls eye window set within gable. Few openings to rear of steading. Small single storey outshot located to rear (possibly housed water powered machinery as small burn runs underneath, nothing in interior remaining, 2004). Pitched slated roofs, poor condition in some areas, 2004. Probably later 19th century rectangular-plan, 2-storey building (possibly former granary) with smaller single storey and attic addition located to SE of steading;
snecked rubble with dressed margins and quoins. Corrugated asbestos roof to 2-storey block, grey slates to single storey section. Adjoined rendered stone and brick covered cattle court (not listed) to rear.
Gate Piers and Boundary Walls: low square-plan coursed ashlar gatepiers with squat pyramidal caps at SW roadside, snecked rubble wall adjoined to left. Stretch of wall to S corner of complex enclosing lower field and outbuildings; coped random rubble, swept at corner.
Bridge carrying farm track over Kinnaird Burn: Grid ref NT 14360 95879 - simple single span random rubble 19th century bridge with coped parapet.
