Description

Tirinie Steading is a farmhouse built in 1934, likely designed by Oswald Milne. It is a single-storey building with an attic and an asymmetrical layout. The left side features a wide gabled bay with two windows, one on the ground floor and one in the attic, along with a lean-to porch that is set back under a catslide roof. The right side has four bays with a symmetrical arrangement of windows on the ground floor and flat-roofed dormers above. All windows are sash and case with small panes.

The farmhouse has ridge and end stacks and is topped with a slate roof.

The steading is a simple L-shaped structure, with byres in the east-west range and a barn in the north-south orientation. It is built from rubble and also has a slate roof.
