Winkston

Winkston is an early 19th century farmhouse with additions dating to around 1910. It is a two-storey and attic building with three bays, accompanied by single-storey, recessed wings on either side, and a later gabled addition to the rear. The exterior is constructed of coursed whinstone with painted stone dressings and long and short quoins.

The south-west (principal) elevation features a central doorway with painted margins and a later multi-paned timber door. There is a window on each side of the doorway. The first floor has three regularly spaced bays, and a bipartite attic dormer sits above the centre. The flanking wings have piend roofs and a centrally placed tripartite window each.

The north-west elevation shows a side wall with a later window on the first floor to the left. There's a blind end to the recessed wing to the left and centre of the ground floor. A piend-roof extension adjoins to the left return.

The north-east (rear) elevation displays a small window to the half-storey on the left, which is partially hidden by a later gabled extension in the centre and to the right. A single window is located on the ground floor to the right, and two regularly placed bays are on the first floor. A wing extension adjoins the right return. A single-storey, two-bay lean-to porch is situated in the re-entrant angle, incorporating a window and a timber boarded door. To the left flank, steps lead to a two-leaf, semi-glazed timber door at the rear of the single-storey wing. To the right flank there's a piended rear addition to the wing, featuring a timber door to the left and a window to the right.

The south-east elevation has a single window on the left side of both floors, with the first-floor window blind. A blind end of the recessed wing adjoins the centre and right of the ground floor.

The main elevations have 7-pane timber sash and case windows with a divided 6-pane upper sash and plate glass lower sash, and 3-pane side lights to the windows in the wings. Later windows on the north-east and north-west elevations are timber sash and case windows with plate glass glazing. The rear extension roof has cast-iron 2-pane Carron lights. A flat-roofed bipartite attic dormer with slated cheeks is centrally positioned on the main elevation. The roof is covered in piended blue grey slate with lead ridging and flashings. Painted cast-iron rainwater goods are present. Tall rubble wallhead stacks with ashlar long and short quoins, banded neck copes and decorative cans stand on the centre of the side elevations. A gablehead stack of a similar design is located on the rear elevation.

The interior retains original woodwork, including panelled doors, skirtings, and panelled window shutters.
