Late 18th century. 2 storey, 3-bay farmhouse sited to N of walled garden, renovated (1990). Squared and coursed stone-cleaned cream sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings; quoins.
S (FRONT) ELEVATION: modern, part-glazed door at ground in bay to centre; window, close under eaves, at 1st floor above. Window at each floor in bays flanking.
N (REAR) ELEVATION: 2-storey, lean-to addition.
E (SIDE) ELEVATION: modern, part-glazed door at ground set to right; window at 1st floor above. Lean-to addition to outer right.
Regrettable modern lead-pane glazing; grey slate roof; rendered, coped gablehead stacks, possibly reduced in height, to E and W gabled ends; ashlar skews; replacement rainwater goods.
GATEPIERS: sited to SW. Contemporary square-plan droved ashlar with cope and pyramidal caps, adjoining low coped garden wall.
The farmhouse first appears on Melville Estate plans in 1810 (see notes for Melville Castle, Garden Farmhouse). It does not feature on
J Wilson's survey of 1790 (RHP 2095). It was probably associated with the now ruinous steading adjoining the E of the walled garden, formerly known as Easter Melville (RHP 2088). The single storey cottages to the W (listed separately) are roughly contemporary; plans suggest expanded use of walled garden area. A Group with Melville Castle, Chestnut House, East Lodge, Esk Cottage, Garden Cottage, Walled Garden and Lodge, South Driveway Bridge, South Lodge, Walled Garden Steading, and Willie's Temple.
