Description

Dating from the 18th and 19th century, with some later additions, Home Farm Steading is a U-plan agricultural steading on the Elrick estate, near Newmachar.

The buildings are largely constructed in coursed and squared, harl-pointed rubble with tooled granite stonework around the openings. The east and west ranges of the steading are single-storey. The north range is slightly taller with hayloft openings at the eaves level and has large, lintelled cartshed openings. There is a house incorporated at the western end of the north range with a piended dormer window breaking the roof eaves to the left and a small square window below the eaves to the right.

Some window openings have timber sash and case frames, some with no glazing.The roofs have straight skews and are covered in a mixture of slates and corrugated asbestos roofing. There is one coped end chimneystack to the left of the former accommodation.

The steading is arranged around a courtyard. A low, stone-built wall with a central gateway divides the courtyard to the south.

Statement of Special Interest

Home Farm Steading is an important surviving ancillary component of Elrick estate. Its plan form, early 19th century character and historic setting remain largely intact.

The design details, plan form and construction materials of Home Farm Steading is characteristic of an 18th/19th century steading, showing the original agricultural function of the building. The steading occupies a prominent track-side position within the Elrick estate and is distinctly separate from the house, walled garden and other ancillary estate structures.

Photographs (taken in early 2020) indicate that there is a loss of fabric to the interior and the roof structure has collapsed in the central section of the north range. However, overall the building retains a significant amount of early 19th century fabric and the low level of later alterations contributes to the building's authenticity (2020).

Listed building record revised in 2020.

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.
