Farmstead and a late-18th century C-listed farmhouse, still in use. It is within the designed landscape around Ardovie House (NO55NE0030), and is to the South-West of the house itself (NO55NE0091). On the 1st edition OS map (1861), the steading shown as Offices, and form a rectangular steading around an open court, which is almost totally enclosed, with entrances in the Southeast and Northeast. There are three ranges, to the North, East and West, with a farmhouse on the South side of the court and attached to the West range. On the 2nd edition OS map (1901), the Northern half of the Western range is shown as unroofed, and a pump is now shown to the North. Current maps indicate that the East range and North end of the West range have been removed. The North range survives in its entirety, and an open shed has been added onto the South elevation. The pump is no longer shown. The farmhouse is a two-storey, three-bay rubble-built building with cavetto skewputts. Wooden dormer heads have been later added to the first floor windows. The farmhouse and North steading range have gabled roofs, and the remains of the Western range has a piended roof.
