Dankeith Farm, Dundonald

Dankeith Farm in Dundonald is an early 19th century, single-storey, near-symmetrical classical courtyard-plan steading that includes a farmhouse. A distinctive feature is the tall, gabled entrance clock tower with a pendulum. The building is constructed from rubble with smooth margins and features an eaves band. Gabled hayloft dormers with timber boarded doors break the eaves, and there are square-plan ridge roof ventilators with louvred openings topped by bell-cast pyramidal roofs and weather vanes. The structure has a mix of regular small upper-level window openings, large sliding timber boarded doors, and some window openings that have been bricked up.

The entrance elevation faces south and is symmetrical with seven bays. The outer bays are advanced and have window openings set in segmental-arched niches. The central segmental-arched pend features an impost course, with a double-height gabled clock tower above it. The farmhouse is incorporated into the north side of the courtyard, featuring an advanced gabled bay to the left and a diagonal porch with a timber entrance door in the re-entrant angle. The windows include tri-partite and bi-partite designs with stone mullions.

Inside, as seen in 2009, there are former stables with timber boarding on the walls and a trussed ceiling, as well as a former dairy with white tiled walls and a slate shelf. Other areas of the building are used as stores. The windows vary in style, including 2-over-4-pane sash and case windows, plate glass over 2-pane sash and case windows, and some 3-pane metal windows with top hopper openings. The roof is covered with grey slates, featuring some raised skews and shouldered skewputts, along with ridge and coped stacks.
