NOTES:
This is a good example of a traditional unpretentious U-plan Ayrshire former
farm and stable block. The farm has been converted into 5 separate dwellings
but retains it original distinctive V-plan form and has few external extensions
or additions.
This U-plan formd ,incorporating a two storey farmhouse centrally within the lower byre
ranges, is typical of the area and evolved specifically to suit the requirements of dairy
farming. Farms like Fairlie crevoch form a key
part of Ayrshire's landscape and are an important record of the area’s
agricultural history.
Many similar farms in this forming Stewarton Parish have
now been extended and Fairlie crevoch, although now 5 separate dwellings is one which
still retains its original plan farm. There are the remains of a former lime kiln in the
garden.
