Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

Circa 1830, probably incorporating earlier fabric and with later 19th century and later 20th century alteration and additions. Single storey and attic cottage with detached flanking byres forming open U-plan. A relatively well-preserved example of a small Improvement farm occupying a prominent position on the main road just South of Strathyre.

Cottage: 3 bays with lower 2-bay addition to S gable. Central door with flanking windows, piend-roofed dormers to attic and gablehead stacks. There is a relatively large height of wall between the top of the windows and the eaves. At the rear is a circa 1860 canted bay window to one side and a flat-roofed 20th century addition across the rest of the elevation. The older part of the house has deep bracketed eaves.

N Byre: slit windows and timber-boarded doors to courtyard elevation; doorway at attic level on E (road) elevation; 20th century picture window to W gable; 20th century timber cabin adjoining N elevation.

S Byre: irregular arrangement of windows and timber-boarded doors to main elevations; small window to E gable apex.

Boundary Wall: coped random rubble boundary / retaining wall to road.

Materials: 2-leaf timber panelled front door; timber sash and case windows with 4- and 8-pane glazing. Random rubble with roughly squared quoins and dressings to all buildings; house white-washed. Coped stacks with yellow clay cans. Grey slate to roof; corrugated iron or asbestos roofs to byres.
