Full Description
House and farmstead, still in use, depicted on the 1st edition and 2nd edition OS maps with an associated designed landscape. Blackhill House is a single storey and basement house with gables and rear elevation of rough granite ashlar and front elevation of fine ashlar masonry. The garden to the front is enclosed by curving harled garden walls. The farmstead is shown on the 1st edition map as a group of four rectangular steadings arranged around a central courtyard, with a possible horse engine attached to the east face of the easternmost building, and an additional building to the north. By the 2nd edition map, the main southern range of buildings have been altered to form a pair of L-plan steading, forming a square in plan, but the horse engine has been removed. These early buildings appear to have been replaced on subsequent years. On the south side of the main road, a further building survives, shown on both the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps, but there appears to be no trace of the wooded designed landscape shown on early maps to the west of this building.
