| Details |
Farmhouse and farmstead, dating from the early 18th century and largely rebuilt after a fire in the early 20th century. Two-storey, 5-bay, L-plan farmhouse, with attached single storey outbuildings. The south elevation has a harled exterior with ashlar margins and angles, the east outbuildings are constructed of rubble with irregular quoins. Windows are 12-pane sash and case. The piended grey slate roofs have coped stacks with uniform terracotta cans, with tall end stacks to the east and west gables. There are rubble boundary walls with rubble coping. A cheese press is to the front of the house. The OS 1st edition map shows an extensive garden to the south and southeast of the farmhouse and steading buildings to the north and northeast. The east steading is quadrangular and uncovered, the adjacent west steading is an open U-shape. A mill dam and sluices are shown in the northwest corner of the farm site. The OS 2nd edition map shows a similar farm layout, but with the east steading roofed and with alterations to the garden. The eastern outbuildings predate the early 20th century fire and may be part of the old manse buildings. Only the western elevation and part of the north elevation of the former west steading survive. Benvie farm was the property of the family of Patrick Thoms, the architect, from 1918.
