Summary

Description

Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

Earlier 19th century 2-storey, 3-bay farmhouse with single storey addition to rear. Located on a sloping site to the N of Rednock House (see separate list description), this improvement period farm was originally part of the Rednock Estate. A good quality example of a relatively unaltered farmhouse of this type, with attractive lying pane glazing and partly constructed with stone from Castle of Rednock, a ruined 16th century circular tower situated immediately to the SW of the farmhouse (a Scheduled Ancient Monument). There is a much-altered court of steading buildings to the E of the farmhouse.

Symmetrical principal (S) elevation: Central front door with 3-light fanlight and later gabled timber porch flanked by canted bay windows to ground floor, 3 evenly spaced windows above. Broad W gable with single window to ground floor; blank E gable with modern timber lean-to garage attached. To rear, single-storey extension to right with small barred windows to N and W elevations, perhaps originally a game store, small modern brick porch to centre, single kitchen window to left. To 1st floor, 2 single windows flank centre stair window.

Interior

Simple rectangular plan, with 4 rooms leading off a central hall to ground floor. Timber stair with decorative cast-iron balusters and painted mahogany handrail. Hall and sitting room have plastered ceilings with cornicing (egg and dart motif to sitting room), timber boarded ceiling to rest of house. Timber panelled interior doors and timber working shutters throughout.

Materials

Exposed coursed and snecked rubble with quoins and rybats to principal (S) and rear (N) elevations; rendered side elevations. Timber and half-glazed panelled front door. Predominantly 12-pane lying pane timber sash and case windows. Main farmhouse has a pitched roof; rear extension is pitched to W and piended to E. Graded grey slates to roofs. 2 gablehead stacks, curved at base, with yellow clay cans. Stack to W is corniced and rendered; E stack is a brick replacement. Some cast iron rainwater goods.

Boundary Wall, Gatepiers And Gates

Low rubble retaining wall to S of farmhouse, with attractive painted wrought iron gates and gatepiers at either end.

Statement of Special Interest

There is a modernised steading complex to E, still used for agricultural purposes. Rubble and rendered walls with modern corrugated iron/asbestos roofs and various openings.

According to the present tenant (2005), the original farmhouse was a single storey cottage located in the N range of the steading complex. This is now a grain store and little evidence of its previous existence as a cottage remains. According to James Stobie's 1783 Map of the Counties of Perth and Clackmannan, the previous, much more modest farm on the site was called Balmeanoch. The Ordnance Survey Name Book (1898) describes Castle Rednock as a 'fine farmhouse and offices - built from the material of the old castle'.

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.
