Multi-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows. Grey slates. Overhanging eaves with plain bargeboarding.

Statement of Interest

Although Lessendrum Home Farm has been altered, the quality stonework and design of the front range is supported by lesser elevations which retain the character of a steading of the mid 19th century, and although the segmentally headed cart arches have been blocked, the work is reversible. The Bisset family were connected with Lessendrum estate from the 14th century until the 1960s even though nearby ruinous Lessendrum House, separately listed at category C(S), was destroyed by fire during the 1920s. Incorporating a 17th century house, it was reworked by Archibald Simpson in 1837.
