Description
Circa 1840. 2-storey, T-plan farmhouse comprised of
piend-roofed N-S wing and gabled E-W wing. Roughly
squared red sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, some
stugged.
N-S WING: 3-bay, symmetrical elevation to W; rectangular
porch projecting at centre with blocking course,
door on N return and narrow window to W; 1st floor window
above porch blind, regular windows in flanking bays to
each floor. Blank N and S elevations. Purple slates to
piend roof; wallhead stacks.
E-W WING: adjoined to N-S wing on E, 3-bay, asymmetrical
elevation to S, with later harled piend-roofed porch added
at centre; regular window above and to both floor in bay to
right; 2 square windows to left bay. Grey-green slates;
gable end stack to E.
RETAINING WALLS: rubble coped rubble walls dividing house
from steading sited to SW.
12-pane glazing pattern to sash and case windows.
Statement of Special Interest
E-W wing in gabled form should by rights have a slightly
earlier date than the piend roofed N-S wing, as existing
farmhouses were often extended in such a manner, however,
the similarity in details and overall masonry form of the
wings suggests they were built simultaneously, or with only
a short time intervening. The steading, not included in
current listings, was one of several in East Lothian which
incorporated the earlier farmhouse.

About Listed Buildings
Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.
We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.
Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.
We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)
Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.
These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.
The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.
While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.
If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.
Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
