House of Monymusk Home Farm, c.1720-50, rebuilt 19th century. The importunate, driving spirit of the Agricultural Improvements, in which the Grants of Monymusk have reason to claim a primacy, is well expressed in this immensely long, single-storey wing set between two coursed granite end blocks. Cartshed range to east with squared granite columns. Fine house conversion from five-window, two-storey block particularly good.

Standing Building Recording (4 March 2016)
NJ 69016 15286 A standing building survey was undertaken, 4 March 2016, on part of the Monymusk Home Farm steading. The buildings consisted of a two-storey coach house range with a central pediment flanked by two-storey blocks, the W of which had been the stables. Part of the buildings, which dated from 1830, had been badly damaged by fire, but the shell remains a fine example of early 19th-century estate architecture.
