Farmstead, with the steading now in use as storage, dated 1867 and comprising a steading block, residential block and bothy. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as having a quadrangular-plan northern section and an irregular U-plan southern section. There is a rectangular-plan building to the north, a pond to the west and a walled garden adjoining the south of the farmstead. On the 2nd edition OS map the steading has been altered and sections replaced to form an E-plan steading. Some small buildings have been added to the north and east. Current OS maps show the courts of the steading has been filled, there are some alterations to the small buildings and the pond has been infilled. The buildings are of whinstone rubble with some pinning (cherry cocking) and stugged ashlar dressings. A variety of glazing patterns are used to sash and case windows and there are boarded doors, grey slate roofs, ashlar coped skews and skewputts and corniced gablehead stacks. The south elevation is to the former cartshed and granary, and has five segmental cart-arches at the ground and one pedestrian door. Above there are two irregular gabled granary openings, one now being glazed with a timber mullioned bipartite. The five-bay east elevation has two-storey gabled outer bays. The outer south bay has a blinded cart-arch with a window above and there is a machine door slapping to the outer north bay with a blocked window above. The three intervening bays have sliding doors, each with a timber gablehead. The pair of two-storey cottages to the east are now absorbed as one five-bay house. There were originally doors in the second and fourth bays at ground, with the door to the right now blocked as a window and the boarded door retained in the second bay has a two-pane fanlight. Four gabled dormers break the eaves above. The bothy to the south-east is a small, single-storey, rectangular-plan and gabled bothy. A door is in the gable to the west with an ashlar, round-arched stone, pedimented and finialled bellcote above with the bell in situ. There is a corniced stack to the east gable and kneelers to the skews.
