Abstract: |
Lessendrum Home Farm on its present site is not shown on the 1st OS map of 1870 (pub.1872) but is shown on the map of 1900; it can therefore be dated to the last quarter of the 19th century. It appears to have replaced an earlier Home Farm which is mentioned in an advertisement for a Displenish Sale in 1858. The steading, which is a Category C listed building (LB 50133) comprises a large quadrangular steading with a small dwelling or lodge to the S. It is an imposing example of an estate steading, with emphasis on the stonework in the W frontage, and to a lesser extent in the N elevation- both of which would have been visible on approach. The fenestration of the W facade has matching windows either side of the elegantly finished central pend tower. The symmetry is continued within the court by crescent-shaped openings at the gables of the inner ranges.Few internal details survived but two cow byres , the cart bays and the position of the mill were identified |
