Green Farm Steading, Broughton, North Range, Biggar

Green Farm Steading is an early 19th century former steading with some later 20th century alterations to form residential accommodation to the northern half. The building comprises a single storey U-plan former steading with a slightly lower small enclosing return at the southeast corner and a small piended roof garage section attached to the south range. The L-plan section of the north and east ranges has been converted to residential accommodation. The residential elevations to the courtyard have large expanses of windows that are likely to have been formed by the infilling of open doorways. Some of the openings on its outer east facing elevation are later. The southern range remains as a store and has a large opening to the courtyard with a timber boarded sliding door on metal runners. The outer south and west facing elevations are largely solid stone with a single small window and door on the south elevation.

The building is constructed in painted rubble stonework with some brick and render to later alterations and openings. The roofs are slated and the section to the residential part has replacement slates. The east and south pitches of the southern range have small graduated slates that may be contemporary to the build date. The majority of the windows are later 20th century in timber frames. There is a small timber 4-pane window in the south elevation.

The interior of the building was partially seen in 2016. The northern section has later 20th century partitions and detailing dating to its change of use to a dwelling. The southern part of the steading is open plan with a plain open timber truss roof with sarking boards and exposed rubble walls. The interiors of the east parts of the south wing, including the small store and attached garage, were not seen (2016).
