Summary

Description

Earlier 19th century (circa 1830) with later additions and alterations. Classically-detailed 2-storey, 3-bay rectangular-plan farmhouse with symmetrical, pedimented entrance front advanced at centre; substantial single storey, L-plan addition at rear circa 1995 (?). Coursed red sandstone to front (polished at ground; droved at 1st floor); polished sandstone dressings; random rubble (predominantly sandstone) to sides and rear. Raised band course at principal floor; raised string course dividing floors. Raised quoins; polished margins; sandstone mullions to tripartite windows (narrow side lights); projecting cills. Painted dry dash rear addition. Single storey garage addition adjoined to right.

S (FRONT) ELEVATION: pedimented bay slightly advanced at centre with steps to part-glazed, 2-leaf timber panelled door at ground; flanking pilasters; plate glass, semicircular fanlight set in architraved and keystoned surround; corniced, columnar doorpiece; single window aligned at 1st floor. Tripartite windows at both floors in flanking bays (corniced at ground). Single storey garage block recessed to outer right.

N (REAR) ELEVATION: projecting single storey addition off-set to right of centre; recessed lean-to addition in bays to left; regularly disposed single windows in 3 bays at 1st floor (small single window in penultimate bay to outer left). Single bay garage block recessed to outer left.

Modern windows throughout. Graded grey slate piended roof; grey slate roof to later addition. Brick built wallhead stacks to E and W; various circular cans,

INTERIOR: not seen 1997.

ENTRANCE WALLS AND GATES: splayed and coped sandstone walls flanking entrance; square-plan gatepiers; pyramidal caps; gates missing.

Statement of Special Interest

An unusually grand farmhouse, from the front at least, noted in Rutherfurd's 1866 Directory. Despite its modern windows and large rear addition, Jardinefield has retained significant architectural interest in its more permanent and classical fabric. The pedimented entrance front is particularly impressive with its corniced, columnar doorpiece and tripartite windows. The use of polished sandstone at ground and droved sandstone above is also interesting. It is the sort of design inspired by THE RUDIMENTS OF ARCHITECTURE (1773) widely available around 1800. Neither the associated steading nor the nearby former farmworkers' cottages are listed.

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.
