Description
Kipperoch Farm Steading is an earlier 19th-century farmhouse featuring a two-storey, three-bay symmetrical rectangular plan, with a single-storey flanking steading range that creates symmetrical wings and a farm court at the rear, forming an approximate U-plan. The building is constructed from stugged squared and snecked sandstone, with ashlar margins and dressings, a base course, and quoin strips.
The southeast (main) elevation showcases a pilastered and corniced doorpiece at the center, which includes a panelled door, a two-pane fanlight, and an inner multipaned door. The windows are symmetrically arranged, with additional symmetrical windows on the first floor. To the right, there is a single-storey, two-bay wing that serves as a pantry, featuring a window, while the broad gable of the steading range is located to the outer right, with a central window and a blind window above, along with a girded opening to the left. The left wing is a two-storey structure that was formerly a granary, with a broad gable to the outer left, an off-centre window on the ground floor, and a blind window above.
The northwest (rear) elevation consists of three near-symmetrical bays, with a large stair window at the center of the first floor, which is a twelve-pane sash and case window, flanked by smaller windows. The central door has been altered to a small window, with an additional window to the right and a later bipartite window to the outer left. Access to the scullery is through the range on the left.
The windows throughout the building are eight-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and features ashlar coping to the skews and skewputts, with apex stacks.
The interior was not seen in 1995.
The steading is built from rubble and has ashlar coping to the skews and skewputts, with a slate roof and apex coped stacks on the bothy block. It includes cast-iron roof lights in the bothy range and eight-pane timber sash and case windows.
The northeast range is a long, single-storey gabled rectangular-plan cattle shed, which has a later lean-to shelter at the northern end, featuring pointed arch flight holes at the center of the gablehead and ashlar coping to the skews.
The southwest range consists of a granary and implement shed that is linked to the U-plan bothy to the northwest.
