Farmhouse and farmstead, former Balruddery Home Farm, dating from circa 1820, attributed to David Neave. Two-storey, rectangular-plan, 3-bay, classically-detailed farmhouse with a single storey projection to the rear. Stugged courses to the south and east elevations, snecked rubble to the north and west elevations, with stugged and margined quoins and an ashlar porch and architraves. There is a base course to the south elevation, an ashlar lintel course and moulded eaves course to the south and east elevations and a plain eaves course to the west elevation. Mostly 12-pane sash and case windows (slightly wider to the south elevation), with moulded lugged architraves to the ground floor south elevation, ashlar margins with corbelled cills to the first floor, stugged and margined jambs elsewhere. The piended grey slate roof (M-gabled to the rear) has coped, shouldered end stacks. There are plain cast-iron rainwater goods. The west elevation has an 18-pane border-glazed stair window and a single storey, piend-roofed pantry/milk house to the centre, joined to house by a later flat-roofed linking bay. The farm has rubble boundary walls. The farm is shown as Balruddery Farm on the OS 1st edition map and Balruddery Home Farm on the OS 2nd edition map.The OS 1st edition map shows an extensive garden to the southeast of the farmhouse, with the steadings to the northeast and a rectangular building orientated east-west to the north, with the mill pond, dam and sluice in the northwest corner of the site. A gasometer and a weighing machine are shown in the central steading courtyard. The farm layout is similar on the OS 2nd edition map, but without the gasometer and weighing machine and with garden alterations.
