Braehead Farmhouse, c.1830. Solid, three-bay, granite farmhouse of some pretension (block cornices to windows and
canted dormers) which pales to insignificance against the grandeur of the great U-plan steading adjacent. Remarkably stretched ranges in coursed rubble, with lofts and cart sheds and an odd, Tudor-style, detached block with steep roof,
hipped at the east and cut back for openings.
