This three-storey house is constructed of cement rendered masonry walls and has a pitched slate roof. The third floor is set into the roof space and the small rectangular gable windows are augmented by a featured group of three windows over the main entrance. The middle window has a raised semi-circular head in keeping with the roof which is peaked at that point to accommodate the central window. The other windows in the farm are all well proportioned rectangular vertical sash design regularly spaced in an otherwise plain facade. The front entrance is delineated by a flush porch pair of columns (pilaster) with beam over. The side of the main building has a one storey wing extension in the same style. The house is set in a low walled garden with greenhouse. No interior inspection has been made. The house appears in reasonable repair. The building represents a rather pleasantly proportioned example of a middle class farm house of the mid nineteenth century. There are a number of such buildings on the island not each of which should be listed since the main justification would be to ensure that one remained in close to its original condition for the sake of posterity. In that context the house at Ballachurry is as good as any but it is felt that a better example could be used on a representative basis to preserve a farm complex of buildings which at Ballachurry are rather mundane.
