Description

The Centre Farmsteading Range, associated with Reawick House, comprises an 18th-century country house, an early 19th-century addition to the rear, and an early 19th-century steading aligned to the southwest. The country house is symmetrical and consists of a two-storey, three-bay gabled main block and a two-by-two bay piend-roofed addition to the rear. The walls are harled rubble with painted margins around windows and doors.

The northeast (principal) elevation is symmetrical, featuring a projecting entrance porch in the central bay at ground level, with a window in its northeast side and segmental-arched doors in its side elevations. Three-light, multi-pane windows flank the porch, with regular fenestration at the first floor. The southeast elevation displays a blank gable of the earlier house to the right; a lean-to, now a garage, projects at ground level; and the two-bay elevation of the addition to the left, also with a lean-to at ground level and regular first-floor fenestration. The southwest (rear) elevation is nearly symmetrical, with a two-bay design; a window is at ground level in the bay to the left and to the right of the centre, with regular first-floor fenestration below a wide chimney-gable that breaks the eaves at the centre. The northwest elevation shows a two-bay gable of the earlier house to the left; a lean-to, now a garage, at ground level, regularly fenestrated at the first floor; and the two-bay elevation of the addition to the right, with a window at ground level in the bay to the left and regular first-floor fenestration.

Most windows are 12-pane timber sash and case; mid-20th century multi-pane windows are found flanking the entrance porch. The roofs are red tile, with a piended roof over the rear addition and porch; the lean-tos are clad in corrugated sheet material. Harled rubble stacks are present, with apex stacks to the gables of the earlier house and a chimney-gable of the rear addition, and a wallhead stack on the southeast elevation of the latter, all topped with circular cans.

The steading is in two periods. An earlier symmetrical building to the right comprises a two-storey centrepiece with a vertically-boarded timber door within a round-arched cart arch at ground level, and two narrow blind windows to the first floor with crenellated wallhead above. Single-storey, two-bay wings flank the centrepiece, each with a square, four-pane fixed-light window. A later single-storey range extends to the left, incorporating a round-arched door to the outer right. This range is terminated by a gable to the outer left, featuring a round-arched door at ground level to the right and a blind window centred in the gablehead.

A random rubble wall encloses the garden to the southwest of the house, with pyramidal caps on rubble gatepiers centring the northeast wall. A monopitch outbuilding adjoins the house at the southeast corner, with a stone slab roof and a door centring the northeast elevation. A random rubble wall extends southwest from the house along the steading frontage.
