Mill at NW corner circa 1800; N, S, E and W ranges early 19th century; cattle courts and addition to S range later 19th century. Single, 2- and 3-storey, near quadrangular plan, farm steading sited on falling ground. Rubble masonry with some broad droved dressings, long and short quoins; piended roofs of stone slate, slate, corrugated sheet metal and bitumen impregnated paper; boarded doors.
South Balluderon Farm was probably established during the 1790s following the division of the Balluderon estate into North and South Balluderon. South Balluderon was owned by the Mount Family from circa 1870 and the steading ceased to be used in 1949 upon the death of George C Mount. Mount never adopted tractors and alterations to the steading were minimal, consequently it represents a rare example of an unaltered 19th century steading.(Historic Environment Scotland List Entry)
