A Category B listed building http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB33302, but in very poor condition and in the Buildings at Risk Register https://buildingsatrisk.org.uk/search/keyword/govan/event_id/904391/building_name/fairfield-farm-govan. Presumed to be a farmhouse originally and dating from the early 19th century. For many years the building was used by the Council's Parks Department, but after a re-organisation staff were transferred to other locations and the building lay empty and in due course was vandalised. When photographed in 2013 Image there had been proposals for a restoration, but this has not happened.
