description
Ardnave Steading and Ardnave House are isolated in the small settlement of Ardnave. In the past, this region was much more densely populated. In 1841, 77 people lived in the village. Lake Ardnave Loch is less than 100 meters to the southeast. The 33.7 m long front of the building is provided with three blind arches and a crenellated parapet that blinds the agricultural buildings behind. The building is made of quarry stone and was partially plastered using the traditional Harling technique. Behind it, one-story stables and partly dilapidated outbuildings are grouped around an inner courtyard. The roofing no longer corresponds to its original condition and has been partially replaced by a roof made of asbestos and corrugated iron.
