Farmhouse

This is a group of farm buildings dating primarily from the 19th century, with probable elements from the 18th century. The farm includes a two-story, three-bay farmhouse, a single-story byre and bothy range to the south of the house, and a long steading range composed of a two-story barn flanked by single-story byres and a stable on either side. The buildings demonstrate several stages of development, reflecting the introduction of improved farming techniques from the late 18th century onwards.

The farmhouse, likely dating from around 1830 to 1840, is a two-story, three-bay structure of traditional style, with a two-story, piend-roofed wing to the rear forming an L-plan. The east-facing front elevation is symmetrical with a later porch placed centrally in front of the main door. The rear elevation has fairly regular window placement, including a later bipartite window at ground floor center. A 20th-century lean-to addition exists at the northwest corner, featuring a half-glazed timber-boarded side door. Coped ashlar gablehead stacks are present. The interior has been largely modernized, though some original simple cornices remain on the first floor.

The barn, stable byre, and associated bank are likely from the late 18th or early 19th century, incorporating earlier fabric. The two-story barn is roughly five bays wide with three doors at ground level to the central and outer bays, and two doors to the inner bays of the east-facing front elevation. The west-facing rear elevation features a central door and slit windows. The north gable has a 12-hole dovecot and three slit windows with stone ledges beneath the gable apex. Agricultural roof lights are present. The building features roughly-cut long and short quoins. A two-bay stable is recessed to the right, with roof lights and a raised vent. A four-bay former byre or dairy is to the left of the barn, with bays marked by brick buttresses; a slightly lower byre with a vented roof is on the far left. A large, roughly semicircular bank sits to the west of the barn, edged by an intermittent boulder retaining wall. The foundations of a former horse mill are located on the bank, near the barn.

The single-story, piend-roofed bothy and byre range is located to the south of the farmhouse. A three-bay cottage or bothy is at the western end, with a central doorway and a brick ridge stack. A byre is at the eastern end, with a vented roof, timber-boarded doors, and various walled-up openings.

The farm buildings are constructed of random rubble walls. The farmhouse has timber sash and case windows with predominantly 12-pane glazing; the bothy has 8-pane glazed windows. Timber-boarded doors are found on all buildings. Cast-iron rainwater goods and graded grey slate are used throughout. The house has yellow clay chimney cans.
