Description
Horseupcleugh is a mid-19th century farmhouse that has undergone later additions and alterations. It is an asymmetrical, two-storey, three-bay building with a plain gabled design and a gabled porch at the front. The rear features a single-storey addition and another single-storey section with an attic, forming a near T-plan. There is also a single-storey wing at the back and a modern glazed addition set back to the outer left. The exterior is constructed of harl-pointed rubble sandstone with rubble sandstone dressings, droved sandstone quoins, raised margins, projecting cills, and moulded skewputts.
On the southeast (entrance) elevation, the projecting porch is centrally located at ground level and features a single window at the front, with a timber panelled door on the right side. There is a small single window offset to the left on the first floor. In the bay recessed to the outer right, there is a single window at ground level, with a gabled window breaking the eaves above. The gabled wing to the outer left has single windows on both floors, and a flat-roofed modern addition is recessed to the left.
The northeast (side) elevation has a blind elevation on the original block that advances to the outer left. A two-bay wing is recessed to the right, featuring single windows on both floors in the left bay and a single window at ground level in the right bay, with a gabled window breaking the eaves above. There is a single window centered in a single-bay addition to the outer right.
On the northwest (rear) elevation, a projecting wing advances to the outer left and has a single window centered in the gablehead. The single-storey wing recessed to the outer right has irregularly disposed openings.
The windows predominantly feature 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case style, with some modern replacements. The roof is covered in grey slate, with raised stone skews, scroll-bracketed skewputts, and cast iron rainwater goods. There are corniced wallhead and apex stacks with various circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1997. The site is enclosed by rubble-coped, dry rubble boundary walls.
