Category C Date Added 19/09/2019 Last Date Amended 23/09/2019 Local Authority Perth And Kinross Parish Auchterarder NGR NN 94347 13347 Coordinates 294347, 713347 — A substantial, later 19th century Scots Baronial-style farmhouse (incorporating an earlier 19th century farmhouse) and a detached castellated building (incorporating some fabric of Auchterarder Castle), located to the north side of Auchterarder. The buildings occupy the site of the medieval Auchterarder Castle (demolished). The farmhouse and the associated castellated building are partly surrounded by 21st century housing development (2019). The farmhouse is a six-bay, two-storey farmhouse of light brown sandstone rubble with pale sandstone ashlar dressings, quoins, skews and chimney stacks. The earlier part of the house, to the east, has a symmetrical three-bay south front with a shallow pedimented door piece and a central nepus chimney gable. A partially surviving date stone reads [18]25. To the left is a three-bay addition with a full-height advanced gable at the third bay, added when the house was remodelled in a restrained Scots Baronial revival style in 1889. The projecting gable has canted windows at ground and first floors, a carved panel with 1889 date and a large 'M' (for Malcolm), a moulded skew cornice and a ball finial. The two bays to the left of the gable have pyramidal-roofed dormer windows breaking the eaves. To the rear (north) of the earlier part of the house is a rounded stair outshot with a baronial tower addition that was likely added when the house was enlarged in 1889. The rear of the 1889 part of the house has a single storey outshot with a piended roof. The windows are predominantly timber sash and case frames, those to the 1825 house having a 12-pane glazing pattern. There are gable
