Farm steading comprising various single storey and single storey with attic, predominantly rectangular-plan ranges with curved range to N enclosing near triangular-plan courtyard; smaller blocks (demolished in part) and further courtyard to S. Harl-pointed rubble sandstone; rubble dressings (squared and tooled in part). Rubble quoins; long and short surrounds to openings; some later brick slappings. Glazing predominantly missing; some fixed-pane windows; various rooflights. Pantiled and slate roofs (missing in part); stone-coped skews. Empty and part ruinous 1999. An unusual farm steading, particularly notable for its curved N corner which, by following the curve in the road, is said to have allowed easier access to West Flemington Farmhouse - itself once a coaching inn. The early OS map shows a circular-plan threshing mill (') originally adjoined the outer elevation of the W range (now missing). (Historic Scotland)
