N ELEVATION: ruinous doorways at centre of ground and 1st floor, (forestair removed); blank gable advanced at right with door at re-entrant.

INTERIOR: fielded panelled doors; some rooms have simply moulded cornices; 19th century range.

Statement of Interest

The 1860 OS map shows an extensive quadrangular-plan steading, most of which had been removed by 1900. Old Baldragon farmhouse and the remains of the steading is in a deteriorating condition, but remains a largely unscathed example of a traditional type.
