Standing Building Recording (23 December 2006)
NO 1088 4506 Analytical assessment and general photographic survey of this farm steading/farmhouse was undertaken on 23 December 2006. At the heart of the complex is a later 18th century improvement period U-shaped court that has an open prospect over the glen to the S. This rectilinear arrangement of three-bayed, two-storied farmhouse, with perpendicular flanking ranges looks over a regularly laid out walled/terraced garden area.
The interior of the farmhouse retains a number of significant features such as original doors, fireplace surrounds and presses and cornices; the roof and floor structures may be largely original.
There are 19th-century additions of further farm buildings to the W and, particularly, to the E where there is a substantial cattle court, barn, etc.
