Description

18th century in origin with later additions and alterations. Symmetrical 2-storey, 5-bay, rectangular-plan farmhouse with taller addition at rear forming near L-plan; single storey, single bay wing to outer right; later single storey, 3-bay wing recessed to outer left. Harl-pointed sandstone and whinstone rubble; cream sandstone dressings; dry-dashed wing to outer left. Droved quoins and long and short surrounds to openings in part; ashlar margins; projecting cills throughout.

S (ENTRANCE) ELEVATION: main block with timber panelled door centred at ground; 2-pane letterbox fanlight; single window aligned at 1st floor; single windows at both floors in remaining bays to left and right. Single window in single storey wing to outer right. Single windows in 3-bay wing recessed to outer left.

E (SIDE) ELEVATION: single storey projection to left with single windows in both bays; principal block set behind with small attic light off-set to left of centre. Taller wing adjoined to right.

Predominantly 8- and 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows. Grey slate roofs; stone-coped skews to principal block; scrolled skewputts with decorative rope-moulding. Sandstone apex and wallhead stacks; brick-built stack to rear wing; various circular cans. Iron rainwater goods.

INTERIOR: not seen 1999.

GARDEN WALLS: coped rubble walls partially enclosing site.

Statement of Special Interest

Noted in the OS Name Book as "...a neat and good house, 2 stories [sic] high and slated, with small garden and suitable offices attached." An early, well-detailed farmhouse which appears to have evolved over a considerable period of time. The scrolled skewputts suggest the original structure dates to before 1800. The fact that the right hand side of the principal block lacks both quoins and surrounds to its openings (which are themselves closer together than those to the left) suggests that this portion of the house is the earliest. The remains of the former farm steading are set to the SW. Rutherfurd's notes a Mr James Anderson as farmer here in 1866.

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.
