Description

The building is a later 17th-century house with an attached byre range to its right, and a stable added to the left. Around 1790, the eaves of the main house were raised, and its front elevation was reordered. The house has a whitewashed rubble facade, while the byre range has a steeply pitched corrugated iron roof, though thatch remains underneath. A corrugated iron roof also covers the stable. The house features rubble gable stacks with stone detailing, while the byre stack is of 19th-century construction.

The facade is set back and includes tall, narrow window openings, most with 4-pane casements. A 4-pane Victorian sash window is located centrally on the first floor. Window lintels are generally timber, but stone voussoirs are used above the ground floor right-hand window and the central doorway. A half-glazed 19th-century door provides access to the main house, and a further half-glazed 19th-century door, originally an entry point, leads into a lobby against the chimney. A small 4-pane window is visible in the loft of the former byre, along with an inserted 2-light casement window on the ground floor right. A former doorway is located to the left, now partially glazed and partially boarded. A shallow window is present in the stable at its left end.

The rear elevation of the house features small 4-pane windows set under the eaves and at the stair-landing level. A 2-light casement window is located at the rear of the former byre, and some areas show brick infilling. There’s a divided door on the rear of the stable, and a modern window to the right. A series of windows is found to the left of the gable end. Loft access with stone stairs is positioned on the end elevation of the stables.

The interior was reordered around 1790, revealing stop-chamfered axial ceiling beams, wall plates, and a stop-chamfered bressumer, alongside an 18th-century mantle-shelf. An 18th-century 4-panel door is set within an inserted partition. Passages have been cut into the former byre on either side of the stack. The first floor features transverse ceiling beams, corbels in the wall for former roof trusses (raised crucks), collar and tie-beam trusses, and a 4-bay roof.

The former byre contains a single axial beam and wall plates, a small inserted fireplace, and a 2-bay roof with a crude scarf cruck truss and a low collar. Bracken is present under the thatch upon closely-set poles.
