Anie Farmhouse

Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

Dated 1737, symmetrical 3-bay 2-storey restored farmhouse, 19th and 20th century rear wings create an over-all square plan building. Moulded eaves cornice to principal SW elevation, dated corbel stone to SE gable, smooth rendered margins to window openings of original house and arises. Despite changes made to the exterior and interior, the building is an important example within the local area of a farmhouse with possible 18th century fabric, standing in a prominent position. It is of interest to note that the farm track which runs past the farm was originally part of Major Caulfield's military road (1850-1852) with a small single span bridge remaining (see separate listing).

The windows to the 1st floor of the principal elevation are smaller than those at the ground floor. This perhaps suggest that the ground floor windows have been enlarged at a later date to increase light to the principal rooms. It is also possible that originally the side gables of the original building were blank with the single windows at ground and 1st floor inserted at a later date. The central bipartite window has been inserted at a later date. The 2 rear wings have various fenestration, a modern porch and lean-to are set to the 19th century wing.
