Description

Gaisland is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th to early 19th century, with minor alterations. It is a single-storey building with a later attic, featuring a long, rectangular plan. The farmhouse is symmetrically designed with a three-bay layout at the center, flanked by slightly lower attached agricultural outbuildings. The exterior is finished in limewashed rubble, with some areas harled. The principal northwest elevation has flush painted architraves around the openings of the farmhouse, which also has coped skews.

On the northwest elevation, the farmhouse is centrally located with a main entrance and flanking windows on the ground floor, as well as attic windows that include later 19th-century polygonal piended dormers. To the left of the farmhouse is an attached range thought to include a milking parlour or byre, with a standard entrance to the right that adjoins the farmhouse. There are two windows to the left, with the right window being smaller. The attached range on the right includes a barn with a hayloft, which is largely blank except for entrances on the right and outer left, the latter of which has small low flanking windows and a shallow opening above.

The southwest elevation features the gable end of the barn, which has a pitching window. The southeast elevation shows the remains of a circular-plan former threshing mill to the left.

The farmhouse has 2-pane timber sash and case windows, with grey slate roofs and partly corrugated asbestos on the outbuildings. There are coped gablehead stacks on either side of the farmhouse. The interior was not inspected in 1999.

It experiences an average of 57 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 96% of listed buildings. Of these, 34 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
