Building record MAB20795 - BURNLAND

Farmstead, no longer in use.

Farmstead, no longer in use. On the 1st edition OS map it is shown as consisting of a long rectangular building, with attached horsemill, with a smaller building and rectangular enclosure to the east.. By the time of the 2nd edition map, the range had been extended to an L-plan with a small addition on the north side of the east end, and another building had been added to the north. A pump is also shown The 2006 map shows that the northern building and horsemill have been removed and that the northern wing of the Z-shaped building has also been removed. Standing building survey was carried out by CFA Archaeology in February 2023 ahead of proposed redevelopment. At that time only the house and L-plan steading remained: both appear to have been constructed in the mid 19th century. The farmhouse was 3-bay, 2-storey with a single story extension on the north elevation, and an enclosed porch on the south. The steading, was built of coursed granite with grey slate roof containing six irregularly placed small rooflight windows. Set into the roof was a loading dormer.
