Dulax Farmhouse

Dulax Farmhouse is likely an early 19th-century building that underwent alterations in the early 20th century. This single-storey and attic farmhouse features three bays and is situated on a steep hillside overlooking Glenbuchat. It has a catslide-roofed bedroom extension at the rear, a cheese press built into the west gable, dormer heads with overhanging eaves, plain bargeboarding, decorative timbering, and a remarkable retention of its original interior. There is also a simple L-plan steading to the northwest, which retains much of its original interior detail. The exterior is constructed of coursed and squared rubble, with some snecked sections, and squared rubble long and short quoins.

The south elevation, which is the principal front, is symmetrical with a small gabled porch at the center that has a part-glazed boarded timber door behind it. There are windows in the flanking bays and dormer windows above, with a cast-iron rooflight at the center. The north elevation, or rear, features a low outshot to the right of center, with a narrow opening immediately to the left and windows in the outer bays. The west elevation of the steading includes the cheese press built into the wall at the outer left.

The farmhouse retains remains of 4- and 6-pane glazing patterns in its timber sash and case windows, and it is roofed with grey slates. The chimney stacks are coped with ashlar, and there are ashlar-coped skews and small block skewputts.

Inside, the farmhouse is a fine example of the standard Donside layout, with much of the original interior intact. This includes a 'breast of plenishing' with box beds, fireplaces in the ground floor rooms (including a large opening in the kitchen fireplace), boarded timber dividing walls, linings, and wall cupboards, as well as a timber-balustered staircase.

The steading is a low, L-plan structure made of rubble with a corrugated-iron roof. It features two square-headed, timber-lintelled cart bays in the west range, facing the courtyard to the east, along with some boarded timber doors. The interior of the byre in the north range retains unusual timber trevises, with the hind post carried to a rail under the rafters.
