A long, low L-plan 17th century mansion of 2-storeys and garret with circular stair tower projecting from the main block northwards. Built in 1692 or slightly earlier, it has the initials GC (George Calder) and IS (Isobel Skene) and date 1692 on stones not now in their original position. There were slight alterations in the 18th century and it was refurbished 1975-80. It is 2-storey, harled, with simple chamfer on original openings, straight skews with skewputts, and coped chimneys. There is an ogee-capped stair tower (the roof 1960 recreating that shown in a view if 1838) and remains of a barmekin.

A small partly demolished office building remains on the east side of what appears to have been an outer court. Also known as Mains of Aswanley see also NJ43NW0144.
